You should stay within the original thread that was created to garnish good non-conflicting information. Your M$ mindset/traits must be changed if you wish to continue using GNU/Linux.
It does make perfect sense to have uniqueness by using case sensitivity for a filesystem. Unlike M$ which doesn't really care as to address for a lazy user base therefore restricting absolute control.
You could setup a .bashrc & .bash_profile for your user or yourself to expedite keyboard input;
Code:
sample .bash_profile;
~$ cat .bash_profile
-------File starts---- << do not include this line
# .bash_profile
#08-30-06 12:21
#
# Source .bashrc
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
-------File ends---- << do not include this line
Code:
sample .bashrc;
:~$ cat .bashrc
------File starts ---- << do not include this line
#.bashrc
#08-30-06 12:20
# Add bin to path
export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$HOME/bin"
#export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
# Dynamic resizing
shopt -s checkwinsize
# Custom prompt
#PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
#08-29-06 11:40
if [ `id -un` = root ]; then
PS1='\[\033[1;31m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '
else
PS1='\[\033[1;32m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '
fi
#
# Add color
eval `dircolors -b`
# User defined aliases
alias cls='clear'
alias clls='clear; ls'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias lsa='ls -A'
alias lsg='ls | grep'
alias lsp='ls -1 /var/log/packages/ > package-list'
alias na='nano'
alias web='links -g -download-dir ~/ www.google.com'
#08-29-06 11:50
#To clean up and cover your tracks once you log off
#Depending on your version of BASH, you might have to use
# the other form of this command
trap "rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history" 0
#The older KSH-style form
# trap 0 rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history
----File ends---- << do not include this line
The .bashrc is very useful!
