Unfortunately it doesn't say this anywhere so lots of UNIX/Linux converts don't know, but case-sensitive boot partitions are a terrible idea. As I'm sure you've found out, there are a great deal of large applications that don't support case-sensitivity (including, I think, Photoshop). Let this be a warning to anyone who considers it in the future: don't. You can use case-sensitivity on non-boot volumes (e.g. external drives) if you're concerned about case issues (e.g. moving data from another case-sensitive file system). Also, since the filesystem is case-insensitive (but case-preserving) anyway, you can add this to your ~/.inputrc to have readline completion (e.g. in Bash) ignore case: set completion-ignore-case on Makes life much easier.
