As the title says, my fresh, updated Ubuntu 13.10 install, presents a conflict with files and folders of the same name, in the same location, as shown below

This isn't a question. You can't have two things with the same name in the same place, so you will have to name the new file something else.– psusiFeb 23, 2014 at 15:22

It's not like it's two files, or two folders. In this case I'm trying to give the file the same name as a folder, and surely this is allowed in most os.– fatboytall1Feb 23, 2014 at 17:23

Nope.. not allowed in any OS that I know of.– psusiFeb 23, 2014 at 22:53

In Linux every thing is file.
So even if you are creating a folder, Linux treats it like a file internally. So here you can'n rename with a name which you have already given to the folder.
You already have a folder named Test, so the name is already taken. That is why you are seeing error. Since Ubuntu is case sensitive you can use test if you want.
