[ILUG] File Managers & Hardy Heron

[David Jamison]

Ive moved to Hardy Heron Ubuntu and use KDE - all pretty good so far.

Am I alone in thinking that it is getting a bit bloated or over 
featured?  This stuck me as I went searching for a file manager.  There 
is just screeds and screeds of menu options!!

Is there a sensible way of managing Ubuntu so that I could delete a load 
of the options that I will never use?  Can Synaptic or Apt do this in 
some way?

I had been using Dolphin which seems to have vanished possibly replaced 
with Thumnar which is pretty basic.  There is of course Konqueror but Im 
not sure that it is a great file manager.  I still have fond memories of 
XTGold (anyone remember that?).  Im about to give Endeavor II as LXF 
have given it a hot pick accolade.  Question is is there anything better 
out there?
