"Hood's Best of Free Software Updated"

[Why Tea]

If you're looking for a file manager , I haven't found one that does a

better job, except Magellan Explorer and that's payware. That' why
there is none listed. If anyone knows of one, hell I'll take a look at it.

As Duddits suggested, the Free Commander. I actually paid a little to
use the shareware Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com). TotalCmd
only nags only once for those who are not willing to pay, but no
functionality is disabled. This is a total replacement for Windows
Explorer with VFS (ftp, http and sftp plugin), inbuilt packers, file
splitter/joiner/renamer, etc. Think of them as a superset of Windows
Explorer.

For those who come from the Unix world, the equivalent is Midnight
Commander.

It seems like you're just buying the Microsoft party line - "Nothing is
better than Microsoft, so don't bother comparing other products."

I think we can agree to disagree on this Sharepoint replacement. It can
go on forever. This is simialr to the comparison of Mambo to
Sharepoint.

I use SunOs/Solaris, Linux and MS at work. But all serious developments
are done on the SUN. I use Linux and MS at home, so I'm not a one-OS
user and I don't really "... buying the Microsoft party line". Every OS
has its strengths and weaknesses and every OS has its good applications
and utilities...

Actually, I did include one. Under "desktop," Powermenu. but so many
people have come up with suggestions for File Managers I'm going ot
check them out. Right now Free Commnder and Xplorer2 are in evaluation,
and I'll post the results.

Alright, and yeah, we're going to have to agree to disagree. I am also
a multi-O/S guy (MS and Suse at work). I support both Sharepoint and
wiki's, and have come to the conclusion that wiki's solve the problems
Sharepoint creates. To each his own I guess.
