System G 

UNIX File Manager

Dealing with the UNIX command line, especially the file system, is one of the biggest hurdles to widespread use of UNIX and Linux. System G was written to provide simple, intuitive access to the file system in the form of a graphical hierarchy of files and folders, based on the design of the Macintosh System 7.

XForms 

Info 

Forms is a GUI toolkit based on Xlib that features a rich set of objects, such as buttons, scrollbars, menus, etc. integrated into an object/event callback execution model that allows fast and easy construction of X applications. It's also extensible, and new objects can easily be created and added to the library.

Comments 

Damm, the "disk usage", which is the incentive that I installed the software, is only a text output!

But the file browser is ok though. NO, too buggy! very easily boom out!

Installation 

Help 

Download both the "common" package and one of the binary packages. If you didn't use "/usr/local" as the base directory, yada, yada, trouble ahead.
