HFS is case insensitive and supports symlinks, making it very useful for Wine. The drawbacks are that it's slow compared to modern file systems, the max file size is 2GB and filenames are limited to 31 bytes. That is why Apple replaced it with HFS+. HFS+ has all the advantages of the old HFS, but none of the drawbacks (except maybe the slowness). Just so you know, HFS+ happens to be the native file system of Mac OS X. (Indeed, it won't run with anything else!) I do believe Linux also has drivers built-in for HFS+. Chip
