Symbolic links question - (nf)

[Steven M. Kramer]

The noticeable difference between symbolic and hard links is that
you (as a user) can link directories with symbolic links.  Then,
doing pwd shows the REAL directory pathname and cd .. moves you
up the real tree.  I like to think of a symbolic link as a
cliff or divingboard where it plops you into a pit (another
directory) and you can't get out the same way but must climb up the
long grade (a cd ..).
