you can use a kde browser in gnome but beware that sme kde services will be installed and launched the first time you use the browser.<br />
<br />
i'd recommend thunar or pcman if you want a lightweight non-kde file browser that has decent integration (automount usb keys, gvfs compatibility, ...)<br />
<br />
then your nautilus should not be slow and you probably should try and debug this issue. remember that nautilus handles the desktop so it is launched anyway

nautilus ended up speeding back up shortly after I posted... if it gets slow again, and I was to troubleshoot - where would I start?

Nautilus is absurdly slow!   There must be an alternative that can work well here.  Seems like everything I find is for KDE or other distros and just does not seem to be easily installable on RHEL 6.4.

need a decent file browser alternative to nautilus that can be used in RHEL 6.4 Gnome?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
