I picked this up in one of the forums, and thought, hmm, that worked for me, but have just tested it and it is true.

I seem to remember from the old Unix and VMS days, and I think possibly before in SUSE 9 series, that launching an application from a terminal window adding an ampersand (&) launched the application in its own process and if the terminal was closed, the application kept on running.

With 10.0 this doesn't work, E.g. launching "mozilla &" from a terminal window opens mozilla as it should, but closing the terminal window also closes any applications which were launched from the terminal...

Is this changed design from Unix (and do I remember it incorrectly that this used to work with SUSE 9?) or has something changed recently?
