velocity.sourceforge.net
- 0.1beta, nice file manager, but rox is a bit lighter.
endeavour2
- in portage tree, I personaly don't like it, but worth testing.
nautilus
- gnome standard.

and the kde standard, konquerer.

nautilus and konquerer needs a rather big amount of libraries for their system, and is a bit big imho :/

well... i use fluxbox.. so i am not too keen on big libs.
rox is just a little buggy.
is there some major alternative?

I really like Velocity.
I use it with XFCE as I do not want the honkin nautilus fm.

It is definietly beta, with features not here or there, but I love it, and it looks like it is going to be awesome once more features are added.

On the box it said it was designed for Win XP or better, so why won't it work with Linux?

You could also give krusader a try. It's a midnight commander clone and runs smoothly under many WindowMangers. Nevertheless, some of the KDE libs are still required

If you really like light/fast filemanagers with not a lot of eye candy try:

emelfm or gentoo

I prefer gentoo since it is alittle bit faster and is more configurable. Both are in portage.

Konqueror is really nice, even if it is a bit big. It's definitely the best looking in my opinion, and it's a tad slow to load if you aren't using KDE, but once it loads it runs well. The thumbnail-popup-windows for all the files are just great. There's a nice thread here that explains how to compile Konqueror without compiling KDE in its entirety, which will cut down on some of the bloat.

I think the fastest file manager is bash + tab completion though. Faster than any graphical manager I've used.

How about the default XFCE4 filemanager? I think it's called xffm or something.
