What in Linux doesn't Windows screw up ? But this is unimportant, if you keep your access limited to a single main directory, that does not belong to root. As far as case goes . . .personally I've never seen that as anything important. name your file "hello1.c" if you want to make a different file . . . which is also clearer. But as with anything, you can work around anything, if you put your mind to it. Personally I much prefer being able to access external media as if it were a local drive. e.g. there is no third party application to use, as it's handled internally by windows explorer. Since, Win95 . . . @ andrew *I am using the USB IP direct connection between my BBB and PC.* > So what's your point ? Ethernet is Ethernet. No matter if the physical connector is USB, or RJ45. The only real difference is, since you're directly connected to your Windows machine, if you were to do what I suggested above, and have an NFS share via Linux. That you'd have to run a Linux virtual machine on Windows. Which honestly is more work, and maybe unnecessary for your given situation. The newer debian images do not use a FAT partition like the Angstrom, and older Debian images did. So sharing an ext* partition wont work.
