If you are brave, Rob, and you're not one to worry about getting your hands dirty, you can surf to: http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/ This is where I got mine - got the tarball, compiled and installed it, and used it side by side with Nautilus (and even managed to get PAST Nauty-Less" in some instances), as well as using it with WindowMaker and Enlightenment. There may be dependencies that you're going to have to chase down, but overall, it's YOUR linux - customize it how YOU want! (Was that considered a flame, Derek?)
