From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Camel case, but with a twist -- if the next word is about to start after a capital letter, I'll have it lower case.
topSecretFBIfile.txt for example
Interesting, I'd tend to demote the initialism, ie topSecretFbiFiles.tar.gz
That's probably more commonly accepted. I defer to whatever my team is doing, but for my own files, I wouldn't want things like UsStudentList or USStudentList which both look wrong to me.
USstudentList looks right to me, and if that's wrong, I'm okay with being wrong! Haha
