Kurt,

If you're using KDE there is a program called KView which allows you to view 
photos in a slide show fashion. In this case you just have to gather all of 
your photos into one directory and burn a CD. When you start KView you open 
the directory and either can then page through the photos manually or 
automatically. The only thing I haven't yet found is a way to vary the hold 
time when paging automatically.
