and i think that both are necessary. the very first thing i install in a 
new linux setup is midnight commander -- the height of achievement by 
miguel de icaza, who in his declining career first invented gnome then 
went to work for msft. (a nice guy, though -- i interviewed him in boston 
when he was still doing ximian.) mc will get you out of all kinds of 
trouble. and "sudo mc" in a terminal is maybe the most practical desktop 
shortcut to a world of things.

and for regular file management from the desktop, nothing touches 
konqueror.
