I probably waste a lot of time eg have mucked about in windows and trying firefox etc and The Gimp, talking myself out of trying linux because of the time commitment, coming back to it, never really getting to grips, but bottom line is - I want to to do what I need - eg print photos.

(and of course a club access :) One advice though, don't use libkipi and libkexif that are into distro cds, they are beta version and to use digikam 0.7.1 and gwenview 1.2.0pre1 you need at least libkipi/libkexif 0.1. You can get them either from club (only under digikam test rpms) or kipi page (following the link from gwenview site). These are the packages i installed on my mdl 10.1 PC (the club's ones). the devel ones are not important to run the applications.

Anyway once you installed kipi-plugins you should be able to see all the plugins under the Plugins menu.
