How to start process over ssh that doesn't terminate when session ends?

Is there a way to start a process using ssh that doesn't terminate when the ssh session terminates? I want the job to keep running on the computer I'm ssh-ing into without me having to keep the connection open.

An alternative to screen is dtach. dtach is smaller and more lightweight - in fact it is just the detach part of the screen utility.

you can use nohup (assuming you are SSHing into *nix server)
