One request that I got more often lately is Google Picasa. I vaguely remember having downloaded and installed it once. As far as I know, it's a closed-source Windows app that comes with a WINE emulation layer. Not exactly the open source spirit.
As far as I'm concerned, I manage all my photos with some very basic tools: GThumb, Nautilus, GIMP, and that's it.
Are there some tasks one performs with Picasa that one can't perform with these native programs? Or is there some other well-made photo management software that you can recommend as a replacement for Picasa?
A follow on to my previous responses, regarding Google's Picasa for Linux. My wife has been using M$ Windows recently. I asked her to help me with some photos, on my box, using Picasa. She had *NO* idea she was using Picasa on Linux, until I asked her if there were any differences, between the application she uses on Windows, and the one on Linux. She thought she was using Picasa on Windows, until I pointed out that it was running on Linux.
