There is only one type of symbolic link.  Hard links are not symbolic 
links.  Every regular file in a unix filesystem is a "hard link" to an 
inode that contains information about a file.  Creating a hard link 
simply creates a new entry in the filesystem that refers to an existing 
inode.

Directories can not be hard linked in Linux.
