what is symlink
Symlink is really useful for php developpers, unix system managers, storage managers etc.
in the case you want many web pages to build with just one theme.
it is about vhosts but anyway, it will be useful for you to use symlink
no space required for thousands, just settings
symlink ( string $source , string $destination )
On terminal maybe you can use this solution
ln -s target <- linkName
Keep in touch
