Hey Todd, have a look at Gnome Commander ?

If your a gnome classic lover like me Mate <http://mate-desktop.org/> is
very good too :)

Unity has it's good points but does not work for me. It's personal
preference I suppose but the Unity dock/launcher I am yet trying to move to
a location other than the default left with nil success. It takes up
real-estate on my screen I need and can put to good use and it gets in the
way most times by making me click many times than necessary so for those
who love Unity and it work's for you great but am happy with my Gnome
Classic.
