Midnight Commander is one of those original computing tools that keeps getting better with age. It may be old school, but its file managing capabilities keep it at the head of its class. Midnight Commander is a text-mode file manager that runs in a terminal. It uses a two-panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It is reminiscent of the Norton Commander file manager that I used in my early DOS and Microsoft Windows days. It is also no stranger to the Linux desktop.
I love Midnight Commander. Been my go-to file manager since I started using Linux in 2003. Brings back memories of the old DOS Shell.
I've noticed lately that many of the major distros no longer ship with mc, and I usually have to apt-get for it. Maybe it's just me, but Linux doesn't seem like Linux without it.
