Joe is Joe on Linux and if there would be a username joe, it would be joe. There could be also JOE which would be then again different username. Windows does not care if if's lowercase, uppercase or something between but linux does.

Personally i'd say everything should be lowercase, just to make sure things like this would not happen.

I thought *nix didn't support uppercase usernames. The last distro
install that I did said I would have compatibility issues when I made
the user Pumpernickel.

The update today seems to have broken any servers owned by a linux user with
a uppercase username. User "joe" launches fine, while user "Joe" on the same
machine crashes on launch with:

Model models/props_c17/lamppost03a_off.mdl not found and models/error.mdl
couldn't be loadedModel models/props_c17/lamppost03a_off.mdl not found and
models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded

This is happening across many different machines, all running debian lenny,
64bit.  This has happened in the past and was corrected with an update once
I brought it up on these mailing lists.

Thank you!
