grml ships clex, mc, rox-filer, vfu and vifm. rox-filer is a graphic one which might fit best of that list. If that's not what you're searching for, try the filemanagers of the desktop environments like konqueror of KDE or thunar of XFCE. (Gnome sucks by default. ;))

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of input I was looking for. thanks for sharing. Stability, yeah, that's a key thing to me too.

Wow, I normally don't use file managers, but I think I like this one already.

I tried http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ after I read about it in the German "Linux User" Magazine two days ago. It is small, it behaves strongly like Windows, but it works ;)
