I am suggesting sxiv because it is a very light and efficient image viewer.

It is a simple suggestion only. The suggests field can be used to suggest a program that will be useful if used with the package. The content of suggests field isn't installed. Advanced users will ignore this field and use the his own option. The newbie users will take advantage of this. > For full perfectionism: > You refer to the blog in README.Debian: > Best would of course be, if one would ask Jesse whether that text is > free as well, and one would push is as documentation proper to upstream > ;-) Ok. I will do it. Thanks. > Thanks for your great work so far :-) > Chris. Thanks for your suggestion about this package. It is in NEW waiting for approval. Cheers, Eriberto
