Are you still using the same file system?

I am on Mac OS X. Its HFS+ is not case sensitive, i.e. AAA, AaA, aAa,  
etc. are all the same file. But, when it comes to display the file  
name, the case in which the name once was typed, is preserved. So I  
can see whether I then typed AAA, AaA, aAa, or aaa ...

Has your file system similar features?
