Power Schemes?



What does it mean, in the Power Saving options, turn off monitor, and turn off hard disks,
and system hibernates, and system standby? There's times for each.

Turn off monitor after what? No keystrokes?

Does the system hibernate after (say) 15 minutes if there's a program running, if there's
no keystrokes?

I don't understand what's being set.
