I just noticed something on my Linux desktop that is "different" from the way that I do things. When I want to be able to run a command which acts differently depending on the command name which invoked it, I always use a symlink for the alternate names. I just noticed that Fedora 11 doesn't. I curious if a hardlink is that much more efficient than a symlink when it comes to loading a program. Or is there some other reason to use a hardlink rather than a symlink. I use a symlink because I can then modify the program and all the other names are automatically using the new version of my program.
