GMC = GNOME Midnight Commander.

It was the default file manager for GNOME before Nautilus came along. If you 
have GNOME installed, you should be able to run it with "gmc --nodesktop" (to 
prevent it from populating your desktop with icons).

There is also XWC = X WinCommander.

It is built with its own C++ based toolkit called FOX. It also has some great 
little utilities, including a text editor, a text viewer, and a RPM viewer 
(very useful!). Look for the "xwc" Mandrake package.
