177 x 50 terminal window + ssh + GNU screen + side-by-side emacs (C-x 3, M-x ansi-term)
I use a MacBook Pro with a persistent screen session on my Linux desktop. I could use my Linux desktop, but I'm a bit of an OS X snob. When I context switch between projects, I simply change screen windows.
The benefits of this approach:
1. I remember exactly what I was doing the day before because my screen session is right where I left it.
2. I don't need a low-latency connection to do serious work.
3. Compilation offloaded to AC-powered server, improving battery life on my laptop.
