Question /tmp, /var/tmp, and /usr/tmp recommendations
Okay I keep reading contradictory advice out there.

Alot of people are saying to always create a symbolic link
between /tmp and /var/tmp . Others say don't EVER create a
link. But they never say what the reason is.

Anybody have any experienced advice and reasoning for why?
Or is it a preference thing?
