And how. See
http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapp2.html#file
for a good-sized (but still not comprehensive) list.
Midnight Commander is a text-mode manager, executed by typing 'mc' in a
terminal window or at the console.
GNU Interactive Tools is another, which is 'git' in an xterm.
TkDesk is X-based, is pretty, and is useful. Check Red Hat contrib for
an RPM.
FileRunner is very popular among dinosaurish I-hate-pictures types, and
also among people who like to get things done. It's good work.
The GNOME project has two file managers in the works: gFile and the
gtk+ version of midnight commander. Neither is really any fun to try
dealing with unless you are a GNOME developer or you like alpha/beta
software. Midnight Commander is waaaay further along than gFile, I get
the impression.
