MacOSX also has UFS, and NFS is case-sensitive as well. But Apple discourages UFS. They don't even guarantee that all MacOSX components work on UFS so it is pretty unlikely. NFS is case-sensitive for Windows clients as well, so that's not the point. Or rather it was my point some messages back for a slightly different question ;-). If I see this right, the common user on MacOSX works on HFS+, AppleTalk (plain Mac shops) or SMB volumes (corporate users), all case-insensitive. The common user on GNU/Linux works on ext2, ext3, NFS (case-sensitive), some have secondary volumes on FAT and SMB (case-insensitive). Seeing your affiliation you probably have better data on GNU/Linux users ;-). so long, benny
