I think the Slackware community would like this file manager
 

It's written in BASH, for one thing. Surprisingly small codebase.

That looks pretty cool, but to be honest I think the name alone will keep it out of Slackware...

He should have went with Freaking Fast File-Manager...

It does look good, man. Maybe a package re-name?

Ya know.. reading the page, being already fully aware of what this program is called.. somehow didn't stop me from laughing out loud when reading the first bullet point.

I'm not one to decide to rename a package from what upstream calls it. Probably SBo is the place for it.

Do you have specific policies pertaining to this or are you just excluding it because the name is dumb?

Either way, I wouldn't consider it useful enough to be included by default. Just curious.

There's no specific policy, and I have previously included things covered by the WTFPL, but a package name is a little bit more public-facing.

I'm not sure it's useful enough to be included by default either, but the name certainly doesn't help. And if it were to be included, the stigma of the name would rub off on us at least a bit.

I did not mean to imply that you should rename it, Patrick. Sorry for the miscommunication on my part. My suggestion was for the package creator.

Ah, OK. Point taken, and no offense taken either :)

That's understandable, though I think a distribution which shows random whimsical messages when the user logs in and whose name is itself a Church of the SubGenius reference can be afforded a bit of leeway in the realm of unprofessional package names. ;)

Yeah, that's been a can of worms over the years. Back when Morse Telecommunications was Slackware's publisher, Michael R. Johnston insisted on calling it "Slackware Professional Linux" to defuse it a bit (and I couldn't disagree). In retrospect, "Professional Linux" itself would have been a better name in terms of dressing for success.

I guess my point is we've already got too much of that sort of baggage and don't need more.

I much prefer "Slackware" myself; it's more memorable and rolls off the tongue nicely. Certainly not terribly appealing to business users, though!

Confession.. I rolled a Slackware server years ago in a work environment. Years later when I had moved on to another group... someone was probing around the groups regarding what that particular server was floating around out there.. finally when I said it was a "Slackware" server running some services, I swear a bunch of the people in the department thought it was a virus and mildy freaked out on me... Apparently anything ending in 'ware' is now associated with Malware..............
True story.

I'm only 37 years old but man.. did I feel old that day.

Fortune has at times been entertaining.. but honestly at a certain point I removed the executable permission from it.
