Why does the article fail to mention <A HREF="http://digikam.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">Digikam</a sourceforge.net>?
It's the most mature tool for managing photo collections in the free software world, and arguably better than most proprietary offerings, including iPhoto.
For amateurs it provides an intuitive way to download photos from your camera, sort, categorise and view them. For those who want a little more, it comes with an image editor and plugins to suit every need, be it red-eye reduction, lens distortion correction, anti-vignetting and more. Rather than fill it with useless paint tools, the developers have implemented all the most useful features for photographers and done so in a way that is accessible to amateurs.
Really, the only feature that makes F-spot worth trying is the timeline, which may appear in a future Digikam release.
