Hello!


Hi all,

I am glad to be here. I'm a structural engineer who has used linux (Debian or derivations) since 2006. I think this is a great forum. I learnt many things from here and finally I have an account!

Thanks!


P.D.> I have a question and I do not know where it is the best place to write it in the forum. The question is: What is the most stable graphical file manager to manage 10+GB files/folders between ext3, ext4, and NTFS partitions?

Hi manzana and welcome to LQ! Glad you finally decided to sign up and say hello!

I'm curious if you've worked on any large projects that we'd recognize. Way, way back in high school for my home town I got picked to be engineer for a day where you spent the day with the town engineering department. I'm electronics, so seeing all the civil engineering stuff was interesting. But a lot of it was also, "We're thinking of lowering this hill, because if you look, you can see that drivers can't really see over it and being in the center of town, that's dangerous." They also talked about ripping up the main street where they expected problems with the historical society because there would be turn of the century artifacts in there, so they planned it in phases to minimize the flow problems with traffic. And then I graduated, time went by, it really took about 5 years, but eventually I saw all the projects they mentioned, really happening. It was interesting because friends were like, "Why they doing that?!?!?" And I knew the answer.

Regarding the file manager ... The default of most distributions should be fine. It really depends, if you plan to move many, many files, like several hundred or thousand, then (1) any manipulation may take some time, but (2) graphical may take more time than command line. The mv (move) command is very good for the command line. As far as stability, I do not feel any particular file manager is less stable than another; in fact if they crash, then all that happens is files are not moved, and the ones which were in the process of being moved may have problems, but fix-able problems is my experience, not something where I've ever lost anything.

Greetings manzana.

The Software forum would sound like a good place for your question.
