The Linux file system comes originally from UNIX and thus follows UNIX traditions. This is why for instance it uses the forward slash instead of the back slash as in Windows. Linux also differentiates between uppercase and lowercase letters, .e.g. the file with the name tesT is different than the file named TEst and so forth.
