As Paul stated I make symlinks and move files around all of the time. Some of them are hard symlinks and some are soft symlinks, but if you have to ask the syntax or the code then forget it and stay in the GUI.
My other box or at least one of them is a FBSD box and I even have a symlink on the kernel config file, because when you do a build world your custom kernel config gets over written if you do not move it. However my suggestion is that anything you can do in the GUI do it there unless you are an old *nix person.
