I've been having lots of fun playing around with my shiny new Linux (Ubuntu) installation. However, for someone that's been used to the easy life under Window$ I have to admit that there is a little of a learning curve. One of the things that's been causing me the most grief (right after all that hacking in the terminal) is the fact that Linux is case-sensitive. As a ColdFusion developer, that means I have to be extra careful about how I name and call my pages.

I get what you mean. I'm just trying to imagine distro X saying:
"OK guys, we're rolling out a case-insensitive filesystem in the next version. You've got 6 months to go through all your files and eliminate/rename duplicate files, and make sure you call the right ones now."
@Sam,
I guess it just takes some getting used to. I like your comment about "naming files better". I agree with ike as to not having any (significant) performance gains, but why would you have to name your files different ways? Settle for a standard and let everyone know about it. That way you're sure it'll work on either OS.
