I've been working on a remote server (debian server Ubuntu client) via
the gnome terminal and I'm noticing some odd behavior. 

I use .bash_history a ton and when working in remote sessions I seem to
have a much less chance of having commands remembered. It's really bad
when I have a remote ssh session perform some commands, then sit behind
the box and try to get to some of the commands and they're not there.
The reverse is also true. Is there any way to get multiple sessions and
such to work better with .bash_history?

Thanks

Rick
