    <para>Especially for people coming from a Windows or Mac OS 

    background, graphical filemanagers play an essential role in

    and <application>GNOME</application> desktop environments come

    with excellent applications, that do more than just help to organize

    your filesystem.</para>

    <para>This section covers these applications:</para>

      </indexterm>

      <para><application>Konqueror</application> is the key application of the <application>K Desktop Environment</application>. It serves as a Webbrowser, Filemanager and documents viewer.

      Although it is integrated in <application>KDE</application> it can be used as

      a standalone application. It is a HTML 4.01 compliant Webbrowser, with support for

      CSS, Javascript and Plugins for Java, Flash and SSL. Like Mozilla it comes with Tabs

      for browsing. 

      Konqueror is also a universal viewing application, able to display images and 

      documents without having to launch another application.

      It allows you to do local and remote network file browsing, and applications 

      may be launched with a click.</para>

     <para>To install <application>Konqueror</application> you have to 

     install this port:</para> 

     <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/x11/kdebase3</userinput>

&prompt.root; <userinput>make install clean</userinput></screen>

      <para>Initially developed by Eazel, <application>Nautilus</application> is now maintained

      by the <application>GNOME</application> Project. It is the 

      <application>Konqueror</application>-pendant in the GNOME-World - allows you to

      manage your files and folders, or browse your LAN through Samba and NFS. 

      The left part of the window features a <application>Mozilla</application>-style

      sidebar.</para>

      <indexterm>

	<primary><application>XFCE4 Filemanager</application>

      </indexterm>

      <para>This is the filemanager that comes with <application>xfce4</application>-desktop,

      which can be used as a standalone application. It features bookmarks to create

      virtual directories with local files and remote SMB network files or shares. The 

      filemanager is able to mount and unmount <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> entries.

      There is also support for thrashbins.</para>

      </indexterm>

      <para>While other filemanagers are sometimes a bit ponderous, this one is

      fast and lightweight. It features a powerful expression-based find feature,

      a pop-up minibuffer allows navigating the filesystem using shell-style tab 

      completion. Like xfce4-fm it is also able to mount and unmount filesystems.
