X File Explorer Description

X File Explorer is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander, originally developed by Maxim Baranov.Xfe aims to be the file manager of choice for all the Unix addicts!Why another file manager when the excellent Konqueror or Nautilus exist on Linux systems? The answer is quite simple : these file managers are very good, features rich and look wonderful, but they are like a brontosaurus when you are a console addict and only want to copy some files or delete it. Another problem is that they require either the whole Gnome or KDE desktops to be installed on your system!On the contrary, Xfe is small, very rapid and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional.
