Sean is right that in general, Unix is case-sensitive, however just as an aside, OS X is not. Though I would advocate using proper case on your Mac, the HFS+ file system that OS X uses (unless you did a custom installation) does not require it. It will remember case, but not require you to use it, which means that "less FOO" and "less foo" will get you the same results (although tab completion may be case-sensitive, but that is a function of your shell, not your OS). The most important thing to remember is that you cannot have two files with the same name but different case in the same directory on your Mac while you can on any other brand of Unix that I know of.
