Are there other light file managers? > try all the others you can find, but i'm sure that, for the sake of lean operation, you'll come back to mc. it's become a standard for me, a basic requirement of any distribution i have ever chosen or have been convinced to install. if it doesn't run mc, it's simply irredeemable. i've found that the only time i can get mc to crash is on a system-wide context--as opposed to filename--search, where activity under /proc causes the search to hang due to constant reiteration. try a search of a remote filesystem with konqueror, compared to the same search with mc. in fact, try a search of any remote ftp directory with konqueror, compared with mc, and i'm certain that you'll end up being an mc advocate.
