[Linux] Process in the shell ...

[Dean Benson]

If I wanted to run a process from the shell in the background, it normally
terminates when I exit, right?  Is there a way I can run the process and log
out of the shell without breaking it?  Like a wget -r http://foo.com ?
There's about 300 megs of crap on a site that I want to mirror and sort
through and I have permission to do it I just don't want to leave it running
without having to leave the system logged on and run xlock ...
