File-naming differences in OS X, Linux, and Windows
File names aren't sexy, but they are an integral part of your experience at the computer. That's why this post that details some of the differences between how Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows handle long file names, and odd characters in file names, is an interesting read. All the the OSes support 255 characters in a file name (though Windows was a little late to the party); however, they support them in different ways.
If you are at all curious about file names, or need to make sure that your files can be read on Windows and Linux machines check out this post.
