I am a first year Linux student and in my first month using Linux.  Today in 
class I tried to create a hard link from my home directory to a file about 4 
directories away from my home directory using the command: ln 
/home/myhomedirectoryname/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file newfilename.  When I went 
to the GUI, I noticed that it created a file with the newfilename with a # 
in front and a # in the back of it looked like #newfilename#.  Why did it do 
this?  Thank you for your help!!
