The subject says it all. I'm looking for something like the ATARI or
APPLE user interface (functionallity, not look and feel) to
- copy, move, rename, remove file (as icons and/or names)
- double click executables to start
- double click data files to start a default action ( printing .txt files,
  TeXing .tex files, compiling .c file and so on)
- maybe all necessary UNIX stuff a normal user (no system administration)
  has to do.

Thanks,
Harald Koenig
