Question Persistent terminal windows across viewer disconnects

Is there a way to have persistent terminal windows to redhat server across viewer disconnects? I can do that with the help of an extra MS Windows server and rdp, but is there a way of doing that without the Windows server?

Here's the scenario. I have multiple redhat servers (VMs) which have no keyboard, mouse or monitor. I also have one headless MS Windows server (also VM). I rdp into the MS Windows server, then do ssh/putty to the Linux servers. Now I can disconnect / reboot my laptop etc., and when I rdp again into the Windows server, all my ssh/putty sessions are exactly as I left them.

i.e. I want those terminal sessions to persist across reboots of my laptop.

I understand that I could use vncviewer or terminal services client if a linux had a desktop.

Is there any way of doing this by using one of those headless redhat servers and without the MS Windows server?

Also, look at vncserver.
