For the very few, if any, Linux users who don't either run a
proprietary photo management program like Lightroom in Wine or a VM,
there is finally Darktable. It bridges the file manager, ufraw and GIMP
in a "lightroom" type environment. I just compiled ad installed it on
my laptop from sourceforge. Over the next few days I'll try to provide
some reports on how it handles things. 

So far, it's the ONLY Linux graphics program that will open a DNG file
upon installation without adding a plugin or a patch. This is great for
the OS community.

In case anyone wonders, I'm running opensuse 11.3 on a Thinkpad T60 (as
well as my Frankendesktop).
