Apr 17, 2011 at 20:24 comment added Luis Alvarado Just giving my thought about it. Am guessing the final decision falls into the people in charge of askubuntu but yes, screen would be a synonym of gnu-screen and monitor to display as in "what the user sees or uses to see"
Apr 17, 2011 at 20:06 comment added Lekensteyn @CYREX: Okay then, so we should make screen a synonym to gnu-screen (with screen redirecting to screen) and monitor -> display ?
Apr 17, 2011 at 19:52 comment added Luis Alvarado Thanks Lekensteyn. My reason for refering screen to the gnu-screen is because we are talking about software here. Ubuntu to be more specific. So the screen command is greater than the screen relation to a monitor, lcd, etc.. So a problem related to how the monitor or display shows something would be more related to how a program in ubuntu works and not what problem the hardware has. This is my logic into this.
Apr 17, 2011 at 19:23 comment added Lekensteyn @CYREX: The display tag already exists. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to refer screen to gnu-screen, questioners often put it in place of monitor.
Apr 17, 2011 at 18:56 comment added Luis Alvarado Second that. screen tag should refer to the gnu-screen. Monitor ones to anything related to the monitor, its input and output. If there is something that wants to ask about the display of the monitor maybe a display tag could be made.
