Talk:Terminal

Jump to: navigation, search

This page is in need of attention!

This page contains no definition of the lemma "Terminal".

The different meanings of terminal or console are not explained in this article.

Nor is the meaning of "shell" defined.

Also other technical terms are used without any explanation or at least a link to an explanation (for example: "GUI").

For the most part this page contains no article at all but just a list of (bash) commands.

But the man page "bash(1)" has also the paragraph "Shell Builtin Commands" (see die.net: bash(1) - Linux man page or "man bash" line 3577 and the following).

What is this page "Terminal" for? Just a listing/collection of some often used and combined commands for the shell "bash"?

This page has nearly no connection to existing wiki articles.

If the user does not already know how tho work with a shell in a console (or a graphical program for simulating/emulating a console in GNOME, KDE etc.) - this article will not teach him: there is not at least a mention how to start a/get into a console or a console emulation.

There is also not any connection to openSUSE to see. Why should this be a part of the "Presentation of the current version of the openSUSE distribution" (see the definition of the members of this namespace on Help:namespace)?

This page is in this state not useful for an 'normal' user/consumer of openSUSE so it should not stay in the namespace "main". Maybe with a some fix-up it may be useful in the namespace SDB. And perhaps with much effort it might become in the future something for the main namespace.
