I usually just use the shell, sometimes mc. http://www.pitt.edu/~macst92/emelfm/ It's like mc, but in gtk with drag-and-drop and a whole bunch of neat shell integration tricks. Personally, I always found Mac/OS2/Win/NeXT style browsers a little inapropriate for the linux environment...

I usually just use the shell, sometimes mc. Yes, bash is a very good filemanager indeed - infact, rumour has it that it can do all kinds of other things too When I use a graphical filemanager, I use ROX - very fast and very straight- forward. http://rox.sourceforge.net It's based on the RISC OS filemanager.
