    What is Rodent?

    Rodent is fast, small and powerful file manager for the GNU operating system (but it also works in BSD). That's one way to look at it. Another way is to call it a graphic shell (that's probably more accurate).

    Rodent wastes no space on menus or function.

    If you have to name one app which you miss most on your iPad, what would that be? Well, if you use and love your iPad as much as we do, then it ought to be “Explorer” for Windows users and “Finder” for the ones who are coming from Mac World.
