Although we all remember that everything started with legendary Norton Commander, somehow lots of TC users religiously believe that every other, two pane file manager, is a not worthy clone. They all share the same roots, but TC with its rich Plugin library managed to capture the largest user base. In this article I will try to cover the most popular alternatives for both TC and NC. It is not a review though, so you won’t find any particular recommendation at the end. Everyone chooses the set of features that is relevant for his or her needs.

Nice quick overview. A friend got me addicted to the free Norton Commander Lite way back in the DOS days. I don't know how I'd survive these days without Midnight Commander at my disposal. Oddly enough, I've never felt very comfortable with any gui NC clone (Windows or *nix). They just don't feel right....

P.S. tracyanne: Prod the Mandriva folks for dropping MC from the install. :)

Personally for multi-pane FM I use the same one as for single pane. Konqueror, split left/right top/bottom a terminal session and samba/network services support. Lets me open 6 panes 2 of which are local 4 others Samba and the only drawback is network speed when moving things around drag and drop from one computer to another.

@techiem2, why don't you post on the Mandriva Forums about it? http://forum.mandriva.com/index.php

Unbelievable

You wouldn't want to believe how long I sought for 'MC with a GUI' (being used to Windows Commander; or Total Commander nowadays). Finally I was happy to find Krusader, and now it appears Krusader is only one of the nine alternatives? Wow! Wish I knew that before.

However, I rarely use a file manager other than Bash. Old fashioned me... But it's great these exists!
