If you like using keyboard navigation, xzgv is what you'll be after. It needs major tweaking before it's usable though, so expect to wade through its massive man page.

GQview is rather popular, and provides a lot of functions. It has shit keyboard navigation though, and it doesn't support animated gifs despite using gdk_pixbuf (WTF?). It's like GIMP: does a lot, but horrid interface.

GTKsee is an effort to copy ACDSee 2.* on linux, but frankly it completely missed the mark. It looks a great deal like ACDSee, but the keyboard nav is bust, and it does less than GQview.

Then there's xv, but xv is a POS, and I have no idea why so many distributions still include it. Kill it! Kill it with fire!

Yet another is ImageMagick (yeah, it does come with its own viewer). It's quite basic, and gets the job done, but isn't much good at flipping though images.
