If you liked DOS and NC then there is a clone called midnight        KR> commander or short "mc" that can be installed with "apt install mc".       I have used mc for quite some time and have enjoyed it. It is one of my main       tools as well when I install Linux on any system, especially my Raspberry       Pi server builds.              The thought of creating a system from scratch for a specific purpose now seems       interesting to me. I think of the servers I have installed in the past that       come with lots of utils and pkgs I have no need for. If I build my own server       to complete only the tasks that I need. Speed and security could be greatly       improved.               ---David              This message transmitted on 100% recycled electrons.       --- SBBSecho 3.00-Win32        * Origin: The Basement Theory - Sciotoville, Ohio USA (1:226/70)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/6 15/2 18/0 103/705 116/116 123/0 25 50 115       SEEN-BY: 123/120 150 755 135/300 153/7001 7715 154/10 30 40 700 203/0       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/20 30 70 350 227/114 201 400 229/310 354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 292/854 300/4 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3634/0 12 15 24 27       SEEN-BY: 3634/50 119 5020/545       PATH: 226/70 3634/15 12 154/10 280/464 229/426           |
