    I highly recommend X Northern Captain (http://xnc.dubna.su/), especially
    if you like using the Midnight Commander at the console. It can be
    controlled using both the keyboard and the mouse, supports
    drag-and-drop, allows you to bookmark a directory for easy access later,
    and is highly configurable. It also comes with its own image and text
    file viewer, yet is pretty fast.

    The only problem is that on FreeBSD they haven't updated the port to
    version 5.0.4, which contains an important feature: the ability to
    create links. You can still do that using the shell in XNC, but it's
    still nice to be able to do it within the file manager itself.

    If you can deal with that, though, then I think you'll like XNC.
