Re: photo browser/viewer

I know quite a few for Linux.

It all depend what you consider as 'good'.
When I like 'fast' I will use GQview, it has shortcuts to editors but otherwise is just a lean and faast browser.
When I like 'more options' I will probably use Gwenview but even on my reasonably fast computer I find it at times a bit unresposive.
Showfoto is another application that has some nice basic editing functions.

And Irfanview can be used too, it works fine via wine.

I second that. GQview is like the preview in windows, with the toolbar at the bottom and the quick way to go back and fourth between the photos, rotate them etc.
Gwenview give you the ability to open the entire folder with thumbnails and preview the content before viewing each photo individually.

You can get the Picasa for linux from google if that is the kind of thing you are looking for.

For photo management, digikam is the way to go!

Yes, digikam is an excellent program, be sure and install the kipi-plugins to make it even better.
