I am running Gentoo Linux on an Enlightenment environment, and I am looking for a good File Manager to use. Discarding Nautilus, which I don't like, could anyone recommend me some File Managers to use?

Thanks.

I'm using emelFM. Convenient two pane approach, but can also be used as a single pane manager.

cheers,

It sure does! I generally think it's a really nice file manager, but I don't use it too often, so maybe I just haven't found the flaws.

I also tried Endeavour once, was quite nice to. Haven't looked at Nautilus for quite some time now, because it always seemed to be kinda slow.

Take a look at this thread too:

I know that this isn't what you're looking for, but what about bash? Our forefathers did great things with nothing for a file manager but their own bash shell. Why, back in the day they had to move the bytes by hand, upwards on the disk platters _both_ways_. You youngsters these days are coddled what with your "antialiased fonts" and "drag-n-drop." Why its just plain disgusting the lack of respect for tradition these days.....

LoL, I was raised on the command line. I like BASH and Linux because quite frankly, it feels more like home than the GUI...
