So, this symbolic link would it be this?
http://www.techiecorner.com/105/how-to-create-symbolic-link-in-unix/

readme  says that they only support redhat of the linux distros. Instalation guide is a simple block diagram. Says something in the lines choos folder. Type this and that, should be installed. Create desktop shortcut... I guess i could just install redhat... But the last time i used redhat it looked so dated compared to ubuntu.
