<p>My apologies if this has been asked before, but I noticed that on Gwibber's website, they list 2.30 as the most recent version of Gwibber. Yet when I open Gwibber in Natty, it lists the version installed as 3.0.0.1 </p> <p>Is this an Ubuntu specific version or is the site out of date? </p>

<p>I just read the <a href="http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man7/symlink.7.html">manpage for symlinks</a>, but I still dont get it ... so hardlinks are pointers to the file/dir. Then symlink is a pointer to a pointer? Whats the use of a symlink then? Why/when should I use one over the other? </p>
