ANNOUNCE: Rodent build 3710 released

[Edscott Wilson Garcia]

Hello guys.

I have news. A new filemanager called Rodent is now available (the name 
comes from Francois le Clainche's "Rodent" svg icon theme). This 
filemanager aims to be fast by harnessing the multithreading capabilities 
of new multicore hardware.


Although Rodent aims to be easy to use, it is definitely *not* a file 
manager for "dummies". The keyboard, for example, is a fully functional 
console terminal (printer style) which manages background processes via 
threads. Just type a command and see what I mean. Emphasis is on ease of 
use for the advanced user, not the computer illiterate.

The svn repository is hosted at http://svn.foo-projects.org/, for which I 
must thank Auke Kok for the excellent work he has shown keeping the system 
up and running. I should also should thank Intel Corp. for providing me 
with the first multicore computer to start the migration to 
multithreading.

But beware: Rodent is distributed as is, in the hope that it will be as 
useful to you as it is to me, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, such as the GPL 
license explains.

So, enjoy.

Alpha release is limited to source tarballs (beta will come with Debian 32 
and 64 bit binaries) for which you will need a full set of development 
tools. Development tools are standard in Gentoo Linux, but are add ons on 
distributions such as Ubuntu, Suse or Redhat.
