In Linux, and I guess other unixish OSes like the Mac, it's quite 
possible to have spaces or punctuation in file names. That doesn't mean 
they're a good idea. 99.something% of the time you're probably OK, 
especially if you stay in a GUI. Command line scripts sometimes have 
problems because they won't have a name quoted properly, or you want to 
use some file but you have to slip several \ chars in, to escape 
"special" chars. Or, if we're not just talking about PDFs, you start 
using chars that the FAT filesystem does not support, like <, and then 
try copying MP3s with those chars to a cheapo MP3 player and wonder why 
it doesn't work. Hehe.
