Linux photography software

[wade barocsi]

Hi Guys,

I hope all is well, it's been a while since I've posted.
I just haven't had many Linux related problems- (now if you answered
windows questions...)

I've recently entered the modern era with a quality digital camera.

I know Keith Antoine was heavily into photography, I'll send him an
email if I don't see any comments from his corner.

...anyway here is the question.

Do you have any recommendations for linux photo editing software, or
photo organizing etc.  I'm aware of  Gimp, LightZone, bibble,
rawtherapee and picassa.

(anything else I haven't heard of)

What do you folks use, or hear as recommended?

My Camera is a Pentax K20D, and I'd like to be able to use it's raw
format.  I'm pretty much learning from scratch, and I'd like to learn
to use a few
good tools, at least to start with.

I do have one remaining windows computer (this one), but I'm not sure
how much longer it will be around. So I'll probably skip the Pentax
software.


Thanks,
