GNOME includes a file manager that allows you to manipulate the files on
|
||||
your system in a comfortable, powerful, graphical environment. This File
|
||||
Manager is known as GMC for GNU Midnight Commander. GMC is based on the
|
||||
Midnight Commander file manager which can be run in a terminal.
