Well I use mc quite allot. For all kinds of things. Editing files, moving
through archives, moving through rpm's and installing them(rpmdrake is broke
to often to be usable for me (probably my own fault as I run allot of stuff
that is not included with the stock mandrake install)). It's uses are almost
endless if you are stuck at cli but to top it off I even use it under x11 and
kde since it is so much faster.
