again (cmp. http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-January/040623.html)... IMHO, it should be "owner/group concept and permissions" (there are even extensions for ACLs) and "linking" is a part of a build process (typically after compiling), so maybe "support for hard/soft links" is a better expression And what about - other "special files" like named pipe files, device files,... - file name conventions (Which are the file name restrictions in FAT?)
