gamin or fam ?

i have always just used fam untill i just heard about gamin (accidentally stumbled across it in the wiki)

what are the advantages/disadantages of using gamin instead of fam

The only one I know is that gamin doesn't use daemon, and that's because I heard it on the wiki, too...

Please read the wiki before asking.

If you use thunar, gamin is vastly superior. Otherwise you won't be able to use sshfs or other remote filesystems.

thanks guys for the forum links and other usefull info

@rwd
yes i read the wiki, but it seems to be lacking in information, so i figured i would ask some people who have tried it

anyway it looks like i might just be better off with fam, because i use thunar for one user, but i use pcmanfm with my other user

so far i have not had any problems with fam so i guess its not worth fixing something that isnt broken
