try all the others you can find, but i'm sure that, for the sake of lean
operation, you'll come back to mc. it's become a standard for me, a basic
requirement of any distribution i have ever chosen or have been convinced to
install. if it doesn't run mc, it's simply irredeemable. i've found that the
only time i can get mc to crash is on a system-wide context--as opposed to
filename--search, where activity under /proc causes the search to hang due to
constant reiteration. try a search of a remote filesystem with konqueror,
compared to the same search with mc. in fact, try a search of any remote ftp
directory with konqueror, compared with mc, and i'm certain that you'll end
up being an mc advocate.
