installing midnight commander on an MBP

It's Unix, the keyboard is /nice/ but I hate the Finder app. Time to install a decent file browser.

arp Alfresco$ port search commander
krusader @2.0.0 (kde, kde4)
Advanced twin panel (commander style) file manager for KDE.

mc @4.6.1 (sysutils)
GNU Midnight Commander

Found 2 ports.
arp Alfresco$ sudo port install mc

  3. Thanks. Actually I have just got rid of aquamacs as I could not see how to get the hash key (#) -simply- . So stinking to the one shipped with this OS. Missing GNU/Linux already :-/
