I'll surely take your word for it! I Googled, went to the Web site  
(Sourceforge?), decided to look at all 23 screen shots at once, and  
downloaded. Not installed, yet, but it won't be long. Indeed; I see why  
you say what you say.

Up to now, the best I knew of, emelFM, seems to be a one-man creation, and  
imho he's done a nice job. However, Krusader seems to be a collaborative  
program.

Well, I'm not partisan about the two choices. For now, I'm running  
Libranet 3.0 on a trailing-edge machine (Deskpro 4K, 233 MHz P II,  
128MB/40GB.) Gnome apps seem to run faster, but KDE seems perhaps to be  
better integrated, and generally looks nicer. KDE also seems to eat CPU  
cycles; the bouncing squashing icon on starting an app. isn't much fun  
past, say, 15 seconds or so. While KDE's graphic designers were clueless  
about the graceful shape of a real gear tooth, the GNOME footprint struck  
me as ugly. In all, I think of it as a healthy competition.

Btw, in Czech, do you spell your last name as )BČepl? (For those not  
Unicode-enabled, [)BČ] is a Latin capital letter C with caron, U+010C)

Best regards, and thank you, indeed!
