Re: [LINUX_Newbies] questions from a real newbie

The last that I read is that F-spot won't be included either, but it will
include gThumb for photo editing which is encouraging because F-spot is not
a true photo editor and it destroys EXIF metadata. It really should not be
used. This is controversial because UDS made the decision to back F-spot, so
if it is true then somebody (unknown) is over turning a UDS decision. It
makes you wonder if everything is alright in Ubuntuland.
