Gentoo (file manager)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is gentoo. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
gentoo is a free file manager for Linux and other Unix-like systems created by Emil Brink; it is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
gentoo is written in ANSI C using the GTK+ toolkit, and the two-pane concept. What makes gentoo stand out are its graphical configurability and its file typing and styling system. Using the latter, gentoo identifies the type of your files and then uses the style you've defined for the type to determine how to display it in listings.
The package includes a set of approximately one-hundred unique handcrafted icons for many different types of files. Additionally, many users like it for its speed, as it is relatively lightweight (the word gentoo refers to a fast breed of penguin, the Gentoo Penguin).
[edit] Name
In spite of the name, it has nothing to do with the Gentoo Linux distribution, and did in fact adopt the name first.
