Hi Stephen. Yes, they are (the Gbutts FF extension is pretty useful - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3576 - esp. with dropdown menu, horizontal). I don't want to install Picasa, but the web interface for it (http://picasaweb.google.com/home) is good. I've just started using F-Spot again, and this works with Picasa on the Web. The Picasa app is good, but unnecessary with F-Spot's functions doing the job. Beyond that, I might actually start using my webspace, with some FLOSS apps, even though this isn't as immediately 'social'. Probable solution: Drupal (http://drupal.org/) 'Gallery' Drupal Module (http://drupal.org/project/gallery) Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/) > Some of the programs > do work nativly under Linux with some exceptions.

I did start to use other Google features, but don't want to rely on one service supplier for too many things. > -- > Regards Steve Morrish... > AKA Pendragon > ICQ 112 044 096 > > > On 5/6/07, Josh Blacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Google's Picasa is quite good in my experience (and have an ubuntu > > client running under an integrated, tweaked wine), but doesn't offer > > nearly as many of the features of Flickr, I'm afraid, but its > > desktop-web integration is useful. > > > > Josh -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
