If you don't need to connect to it again later (i.e. using screen) then I'd 
say use nohup, if you want the output you can redirect it into a file or it 
gets saved in nohup.out.

Or if you want to logout but are already running the process then a 
suspend(ctrl-z)/bg/disown on the job would allow you to logout and the 
process to continue (in bash
