"How about a case-insensitive file system?"

This is just a guess but I wonder if you know that was one of many things that Linux inherited by way of being Unix-like.

It's one of those things that's part of your way of thinking. For many of us case-insensitive file systems are a strange anomoly - why would you add the extra load onto all the file handling software to say nothing of remembering that Fred, fred and FRED are all the same when quite obviously they look different?
