PCMan: An Alternative File Manager For Linux
I had been mostly using Nautilus as my primary file manager and i was a bit sick to be honest from using it, Nautilus is very basic and a bit heavy file manager. So I was searching for a file manager that was both light weight, had a simple interface and loads of features, Konqueror fitted the bill but there were 2 things holding me back from using it. The first is because of that Konqueror is mainly meant for KDE and the second being that Konqueror has a web browser built in, but I was just looking for a simple file manager. Upon further googling i found out about PCMan which fitted the bill perfectly for what i needed.
Some of PCMan’s features include:
* Extremely fast and lightweight
* Can be started in one second on normal machine
* Tabbed browsing (Similiar to Firefox)
* Built-in volume management (mount/umount/eject through HAL)
* Built-in file searching utility (GUI frontend for the UNIX find + grep command)
* Drag & Drop support
* Files can be dragged among tabs
