then you need to use something such as ImageMagick to reduce the size of
the images.  Jpeg images are already "compressed" within your camera, ie:
jpeg images *are* compressed images.

Warning, you *will* loose detail by reducing the size of your jpeg images.

I wondering if perhaps there is some mis-understanding here as I have not
heard of a *precompressing* option in any linux photo app.

ImageMagick can reduce the *size* of your images, re warning above.

Also, "picasa-linux" is a mis-nomer.  There is *no* linux based picasa,
but only a windows executable that is runable under/via wine.  Never has
been and afaict never will be.
