Thanks for the report. However, this is not a bug in coreutils, but in
your usage.
Unlike case-insensitive Windows systems (where cmd, Cmd, CMD, and even
cMd all resolve to the same command), Unix-y systems are case-sensitive,
and you MUST use the exact case (usually all lower-case) of the utility
you are invoking. In this case, your shell even helped you with a hint,
suggesting 'date' as one of the possible typo corrections for your
attempt to invoke a missing 'Date'.
I'm closing this bug report in the database, but you should feel free to
ask further questions on this thread.
