 <h4>Filenames</h4>
 <p>Linux allows characters in filenames which Windows doesn't. There are also apparently normal filenames which Windows rejects (such as "<a href="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/why-cant-i-create-a-folder-with-name/23c86662-4988-4c7d-9c2d-3e33d4413de3">CON</a>") for historical reasons. Linux filenames are case-senstitive and Windows filenames aren't: beware.
