"Worker" for Linux. DOpus rip off

[bhoggett]

I use Worker regularly and it's always one of the first apps I install on a Linux distro. It's been developed for quite a while and it is very much a DOpus4 "clone", which is no bad thing.

It's not KDE or GTK based, but it doesn't suffer too much for all that. Gentoo is also quite good, but actually being GTK+ is a disadvantage these days because it's stuck at GTK+ rather than GTK2. For KDE users, Krusader may be worth a look.

However, I find Worker to be more stable than both Gentoo or Krusader, both of which exhibit strange behaviour now and again.

why they dont mention Amiga or dopus anywhere in the site?

They used to, and I think it used to be on the Freshmeat blurb too IIRC, but Worker has been avalable for years now, and quite honestly stands on it's own merit. Besides, many people coming across it will not have used an Amiga or DOpus4, so mentioning them in perpetuity is pointless.

I'm sure that if you dig deep enough you will find both the Amiga and original DOpus being credited as inspiration.

Fact of life: for everyone except a few thousand fanatics like us the Amiga is long dead.
