Just some clarification (a bit late)...

By default, stderr and stdout go to the terminal.  You can redirect
stderr to go to stdout using 2>&1 (file number 2 is stderr and 1 is
stdout).

Output redirection and background/foreground processes are two
different issues.  Output can still be put to a terminal when a
process is run in the background.  If you want to run a program in the
background, redirect stdout to a file and discard stderr, you can:

  $ find / -name NAME >/tmp/find.out 2>/dev/null &

dd
