    I'd vote for FSXNET.ZXX to keep it backwards-compatible (not sure if it affects anything on older systems with DOS software and the like).

    But either name would be fine, as long as we get to know what you decide on. :-D

    It's more likely that it affects *nix systems or OSs with case-sensitive file systems. I would have to adjust my configuration and scripts (I wouldn't mind).

    used in the nodelist has been changed from GER to DEU. This keeps things consistent with the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 codes we're using across the nodelist.

    I'd vote for FSXNET.ZXX to keep it backwards-compatible (not sure if it affects anything on older systems with DOS software and the like).

    But either name would be fine, as long as we get to know what you decide on. :-D

    It's more likely that it affects *nix systems or OSs with case-sensitive file systems. I would have to adjust my configuration and scripts (I wouldn't mind).
