I've never heard this term "Symlink". I'm off to Google, but if you care
to elaborate, please feel free!
(That's the way for a newbie to engender cooperation.)
(Symbolic links are just about the single coolest feature of
Unix-style file systems, and are just about everywhere in /etc,
/usr, /var, ...)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
The name just about says it all: a *symbolic* link from one file to
another. For example:
$ df /mnt/windows
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 36138212 19393344 16744868 54% /mnt/windows
$ ls -1 /mnt/windows/"Documents and Settings"
