Linux – a decent picture viewer software ?

stephane

Today I write a blog entry to ask a question to the Linux users community. 

Which free (like ideas) picture viewer do you use ?

In former time, when I had this need, I would have used xv. But I guess this tool is considered history nowadays … nonetheless, I’m looking for something in the same spirit : letting me quickly and efficiently browse my pictures, no fancy editing capabilities wanted.So people, what do you use ? Any hint ?If that can narrow down the choices, I’m using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.

Thanks in advance !

(I’m now going to let this post flow in social news websites and hope for good hints in the comments, and then I’ll update this post with the best suggestions I’ll get — thanks in advance !)
