“Gnome Commander, an advanced twin-panel graphical file manager
for the Linux Manage and monitor your systems with Landscape for
Ubuntu. Free 60 day Trial. OS, brings back memories of my
pre-Windows days. That is an era when graphical shell programs were
popular before the Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) DOS (Disk Operating
System) desktop gave way to the Windows 95 GUI (Graphical User
Interface).

“If that sounds like a put-down for Gnome Commander, I do not
mean it that way. Linux has come a long way in recent years to
equal or surpass the icon-driven desktop that Microsoft mimicked
from Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL) desktop design. A two-panel file
manager for any OS is sometimes a must-have tool. Nothing says fast
and efficient like a good file manager app when it comes to working
with files.

“Gnome Commander has the look and feel of these early file
workhorse programs like Norton Commander and Midnight Commander.
Not all file managers for Linux are created equal. As its name
suggests, Gnome Commander is designed to run on Linux distros based
on the Gnome desktop. Its powerful feature set puts Gnome Commander
in an advanced user category among the likes of Krusader twin-panel
file manager for KDE and the Thunar File Manager.”
