It's still very, very early days, but Dolphin (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=40491) is winning over a lot of fans.

gnome-commander is another type of file manager, very popular among those who used norton commander on Windows. midnight-commander (mc) is another such manager, but it's command-line based.

[tkjacobsen]

gnome-terminal -> the most flexible of them all
xffm4-filemanager
dfm -> Desktop File Manager

Go mc! I either use mc or the command prompt, but if I want to install a font, I use Nautilus because I'm too lazy, and its "fonts://" thing makes it easy ;)

[dbbolton]

ehh, file manager is one of the least of my worries in an os...

they have listed quite a few, Right now I'm sort of looking around for an alternative to nautilus, not that nautilus doesn't work just fine it's just that it's boring and compared to konqueror it is not as feature rich.

tuxcommander :cool:

I prefer the two window design that is found in Gnome Commander and others.

[Onyros]

PCManFM is my favourite, imagine Thunar with tab support ;)

[po0f]

PCManFM++

[Somenoob]

Anyone remember the Midnight Commander (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Commander)?

Anways,
Nautilus
konqueror
thunar
xfe

My preferred one is just simply the terminal.

Ooh, I'm going to try that one when I get home.

[spockrock]

ok so I added the pcmanfm repo from thier site, but there is no libdbus-1-2, libdbus-1-3 is installed, 1-2 however isn't installable is there a workaround??

[BuffaloX]

That PCman thing looks cool, bit I can't find any PCmanFM++ with google search.

I sometimes use endeavour2 becuse it has a search functioms that actually works.
But if I search root, it also searches all other drives, because of the mountpoint system.

Anyone know an other FM that has good search function?

Who doesn't? Is still the best for everyday use. Thank you Miguel de Icaza.

There are Ubuntu deb packages available at http://lottalinuxlinks.com/pcmanfm/

I was able to install pcmanfm on Dapper with these.

[K.Mandla]

Hey, that PCManFM is really nice. I might include that one as part of my regular setup.

[K.Mandla]

Just a note: I added most (I think all) of the file managers mentioned here to the wiki page for Installation/LowMemorySystems (installation on low-memory or legacy systems), where they'll probably be useful for people building custom or low-spec rigs. Thanks.

[Onyros]

Nice job, Mandla ;)

Just a suggestion: for ease of iDesk's icons management, I installed idesktools, which is a great little app you can find here --> http://www.jmurray.id.au/ideskconf.html

I don't really recommend idesk-extras, the "extras" bit is not that useful (and the icons are quite ugly) :P

Also, do remember to install Xdialog ;)

Just a little more OT:

I really love the combination of Fluxbox + idesk (and idesktools), PCManFM and torsmo.

Even though I also have this setup at my laptop (which can handle GNOME and Beryl quite well), I also use this at my old Compaq iPaq with a Pentium III 733MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM, and it runs flawlessly.

[K.Mandla]

Wow, that is sharp. Why torsmo over conky?

Are you able to add those idesk tips to the wiki? If idesktools is easier than editing the text files by hand (what am I saying??! :shock: ), it would be a big help.
