Sure you can! The issue is that you can create aliases in OS X from the
file menu. And for almost all situations aliases are fine. But
SlimServer (because of its cross-platform structure) needs symbolic
links, which are subtly different from aliases, and are part of the
Unix underpinnings of OS X.

So to create a symbolic link without a third party utility, you have to
go to Terminal, where Unix commands can be typed. Many people don't like
to do that.
