How to manage a large number of JPEG images?

["Thomas H. George,,," <georgeacct@spininternet.com>]

I have the first 93 JPEG images from the new digital camera on my hard 
drive.  The gimp will load an image and print it perfectly.  I see it 
also has an option to create a thumbnail of an image.  What I would like 
is an album of thumbnails of all 93 images with the ability to click on 
any one of them to see it full size.  I did an apt-cache search and 
found gallery but I don't really want a web-based program.  Is there 
other software available to handle this problem?
