[gNewSense-users] Is there free software that can compare two directories giving diff summary?

[Eus]

Hi Ho!

I am looking for free software that can compare two directories side-by-side so 
that one can quickly see if there are addition/omission of files in a given 
directory or if a file has been modified in any way. Moreover, the software can 
also provide a diff view in case a file has been modified. The software should 
provide an ease of navigation, preferably with GUI navigation provided by GTK.

Can Emacs do this? If yes, any pointer to a quick tutorial on how to do that?
Any other software that uses GTK instead?

I also welcome any suggestion to better mailing lists for asking this kind of 
file administration stuff with the free operating system.

Thank you very much.

Oh, BTW, usually I find out which files in a given directory differ, are 
omitted, or are added with the attached script. But, of course, it is not 
convenience enough ;-)

Best regards,
Eus
