Faster than GUI stuff
written almost 17 years ago
If you were using something like Norton Commander or OS/2 Commander or any other clone for many years, you'll love mc.
You can run it on the console, in a xterm or via ssh - always having the same UI.
Faster and better available than GUI, more comfortable than just using a bare shell prompt.
