methods for linking style sheets

[evan]

I have been using this to link my css to my html:

<link href="basic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

While looking at a site that describes css techniques I can across this:

<style type="text/css" media="screen"><!--
@import url(modern.css) screen;
--></style>

I never used it -has anyone used it and why?
