Definition: gmc: Midnight Commander - A powerful file manager. - Gnome version Warning: The gnome version from mc is alpha software! Midnight Commander is a feature-rich file manager. It started as a Norton Commander clone but now it is far superior to it. Among other things it can do FTP, includes a hex editor, comes with an internal editor and lets you do most system administration tasks. Browsing, unpacking and installation of Debian packages is possible by just pressing enter on a *.deb file. Handling of other archive formats like rpm, zip, zoo and tar.gz is equally supported. This version comes with undelete for ext2 filesystems compiled in.
