Yes, Linux is an operating system that runs on both PCs and Macs. It has its roots in UNIX, as does the Mach kernel in Apple's Mac OS X

No, it isn't.

You can't even make a Windows username case-sensitive. Passwords are, however.

Jetdoc - When you tried typing the Administrator and a blank password, did you just hit enter or click OK after typing Administrator? Or did you actually tab down to the password field with the cursor in that field before hitting OK or enter?

If not try the later as mentioned. You must at least put your cursor in the password textbox before hitting ok to get past the prompt.

Hope this helps

You can log in to any machine that has an account with a blank password without clicking the area where the password goes.

I've never encountered such an issue.

Actually, I find the case-sensitivity of *NIX systems to be quite a useful feature. Makes it a bit hard to switch gears when you're on 3 different OSes at the same time though... :mrgreen:
