    4Pane is a highly configurable dual-pane Linux file manager.

    The name is derived from the fact that each of the two panes has two sub-panes: one that shows the directory tree pane and the other that shows files in the selected folder (tree node).

    Although deceptively simple-l.

    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.
