Symbolic And Hard Links Explained

As I was covering links in the fourth week of my Intro to Linux course, I realized that this was a pretty important topic that should be written down on something more permanent than the whiteboard. Thus, I created some slides that should help anyone who is wondering about the difference between symbolic and hard links.

Very nice. I've also ran into people wondering why you can't hard link across devices, or to directories. The in depth explanation usually helps a lot :-) Cool slides
