Yes thanks. Great app, low Resource usage. Best FTP I have seen. Fast
too.

It isnt a debian package so I didnt. And now I can say, that what a
fellow user suggested, multi-aterm serves the best so far. Uses now
under 2MB Ram with several tabs open. That is as good as I could think
of.

Yes, the one I torture now. I do not like it that much. I liked KDEs
konqueror a lot, but resource hungry, and I do not use anything from KDE
from now on. MC for console is pretty good, but I cannot browse SAMBA
shares with it. xffm4 lets me do that, so that is a plus for that app. I
cannot set it to be icon view, and that drives me nuts. I liked holding
and dragging feature of konqueror, so I miss that.
Thanks,
