I use http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/ on linux, which is pretty-much a clone of total commander. I still like total commander better.

As for open source - this one is, but it's written in delphi (pascal?) which makes it hard to contribute. Then again, it works well, so not sure what to contribute anyway.

They are all clones of the DOS and later Windows software called Norton Commander.

Yes, I even have a copy of the Windows version of the original Norton Commander.

I used version 2.0 of NC in DOS 3 and version 3 in DOS 5.

I still miss the embedded viewing with Ctrl-Q that midnight commander is missing.

And I still prefer NC over TC, because it was so consistent.

yes, there was also "far", loved that one.

I find the newer ones (especially total commander) much better than nc/mc.
