For a long list of reasons I don't want to go into here, my Perforce server
is running on a Windows box.  Recently, the old warm backup server
went down, and I'm looking to replace it using the formally supported warm
backup replica server.

I was wondering if it's possible to run the backup server on
Linux?  If possible, this could potentially be a way to eventually
migrate the main server over to Linux.  The admin guide includes the
warning "All replica servers must be hosted on a filesystem with the same
case-sensitivity behavior as the master server’s
filesystem."  However, if the P4 server is running in forced case
insensitive mode, could this correct the problem?
