Hi,
I think the Caps-Lock behaviour is primarily attributed to the country
and not to the operating system.
My German keyboard-layout under Windows releases Caps when I press shift
whereas when I worked at a computer in the US it would require me to
press Caps again to release it. Just did a quick check on my laptop
(Novell Dos 7;-)) and it showed the same behaviour when I switched it to
US-layout.
Under Windows (2000) you can change that behaviour under
Keyboard-Settings, in KDE (3.2) you can go to Keyboard Layout, Xbd
Options and then scroll to the bottom to find Caps Lock behaviour.
If you want more ways to control the Caps-Key, check out this article:
