Linux is pretty darned case-sensitive. It's possible to tell certain commands to ignore that. We do this with the find command.

In this article, we use HeLLo.txt to demonstrate that you can ignore case sensitivity and what happens when you don't ignore case sensitivity.

Then, there's even a bonus. I show you how to accomplish the same thing, more or less, with the locate command.


I think this one is approachable by a fairly new Linux user. It's a pretty basic concept and the syntax isn't particularly taxing.
