There's a really cool app I've used that displays your filesystem as a galaxy that you can navigate. It's not very useful, but it looks really cool. Anyone know what it's called?

I don't know the program but it does indeed sound amazing. Hopefully someone knows! Rav probably will : P

Search for the program I found something just as amazing, if not more so. http://www.determinate.net/webdata/seg/tdfsb.html

Also maybe it was this you were looking for?
http://xcruiser.sourceforge.net/
WOAH
Xcruise is amazing.
It's in the repos

sudo apt-get install xcruise

Lol, I was just thinking about why nobody had done this the other day, except I thought of the computer as a Solar System, with the sun being the main file system, and the users being the planets, and the Local Area Network to be the Galaxy.

That is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Thanks for the link, I'm going to be exploring my universe for the next day or so.

If it runs too fast,

/usr/games/xcruise -delayticks 250
