A useful .screenrc file example,

autodetach on
defscrollback 9000
startup_message off

hardstatus off
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string "%{= bW}[ %H %l ]%?([ %{rW}%u%{-} ])%?[ %-w%{rW}%n*%t%{-}%+w %= ][ %D %m/%d/%y | %c:%s ]"

Useful snippet for your .bashrc file to automatically rename all your screen titles to the machine's hostname,

# Set screen window title
case "$TERM" in
screen)
  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033k`hostname -s`\033\\"'
