The default file manager in Trisquel is Nautilus. To read full documentation, see here: http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/nautilus.html
FAQ
Q: Can I use a file manager other than Nautilus?
A: Yes. Besides Nautilus, there are many other file managers that can be installed from Trisquel's repository. But you may not get the same level of out-of-the-box integration from other file managers. Trisquel Mini, for example, has PCManFM instead of Nautilus because it is smaller and faster.
Q: I am reading a manual that says I need to edit a certain text file, but I can't save any changes. The text file appears to be read-only. Is this a bug?
A: This is not a bug, it's a security feature. You have to have root access to edit config files, and this is to prevent a virus or malicious remote user from changing such files without your permission. To edit the file, open a terminal and enter the following:
sudo nautilusThen enter your password, navigate to the appropriate directory, and make your changes.
Always observe caution and make backups when editing config files.
