Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : A good image browser program?

This is starting to bother me.
It's cool to have all these freedom to choose what I like, and I know asking which is the best does no good, so I'll go straight to the point on what I want: A Linux image browser/viewer program that does what ACDSee did back in windows. I keep searching for image viewers, and what do I get? a program that asks me to Ctrl+O and then choose the file to view, this is not what I want! KuickShow was a bit better, but I had to press Enter on each image I wanted to see... boring. Isn't there something that autoloads images/previews of them just like ACDSee did? I bet there is... but with my current bandwidth limitations (I am one hour left from finishing downloading Qt so that I get Xine working.. unless there's ANOTHER dependency problem), I do not have time to go and download every viewer I get from the Google's search result, I can barely stand the time it takes for pages to load! So.. I go the easy way and come ask in the forums, so what image browser do you guys recommend?
PD: Red-Carpet might fix program dependencies... but will NHF or Man's or anything ever replace board dependency? Each day I feel more like coming and asking directly here for help before even trying... argh, it's hard to resist 'the easy way', but I know that way will just earn me enemies.

gqview is pretty good, not as full featured as I like ,but nevertheless a good viewer.

Hey, thanks for saving my life!
And I was about to send myself needlessly into danger to try to download JCDSee (wonder why), and noone quite knows how much trouble that could have been when gqview was already installed... phew! One problem less.
