Well, Mac OS X supports UFS, but the OSX implementation is pretty buggy 
and is not the default FS used.  As of the new release, they support a 
case-sensitive version of HFS+ (the mac os filesystem) but not on the 
root volume for some reason, my guess was either they didn't have enough 
time for Q/A to make it "official", or they're only making it an install 
option for OSX Server.

It was hard for me to get used to as well, but I can at least understand 
the usability argument for a case-insensitive one.  Case-sensitive 
filesystems make sense to programmers, but not to users.

Regarless, there are systems that have such things, and it's a simple 
fix, so I appreciate the help.  :)

            of scraps of paper
