...If you're a console addict, a light desktop user, or have an older system, resource-hogging file managers just aren't the way to go. Especially since most file managers are Desktop dependent (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc.), requiring you to load all kinds of unwanted bloat onto your system. Xfe is small, very fast, and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional. Plus, it can be launched from the command line in a fraction of a second.
