Guess the Unix system that produces this output:

shiny:thomasvs$ touch acaps
shiny:thomasvs$ touch acapS
shiny:thomasvs$ rm acaps
shiny:thomasvs$ rm acapS
rm: acapS: No such file or directory

Hint:

shiny:thomasvs$ touch acaps
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acap*
acapS
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acap*
acapS
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acaps*
ls: acaps*: No such file or directory
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acaps
acaps
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acapS
acapS
shiny:thomasvs$ ls acapS*
acapS

Notice how the shell actually checks what you're asking for and interprets it - contrast "ls acapS" with "ls acaps" output.
