What kind of applications can open and use RAW image file created by
digital cameras?  Does such applications exist for Linux?


I was in the same situation a few days ago. Here are a few options (including non-OSS):

1.RAWstudio – OSS, GTK+ interface, little CMS, basic EXIF reading, very young but looks promising http://rawstudio.org/
2.blueMarine – OSS, Apache License http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it
3.Qtpfsgui – License?, http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net
4.Raw Therapee – free/ non-OSS www.rawtherapee.com/
5.bibble – http://www.bibblelabs.com/ proprietary, demo
6.Lightzone - proprietary, 2.4 (penultimate version available for Linux), no support, uses Java (and so does Openoffice.org!) http://www-old.lightcrafts.com/linux/ 7.digikam – OSS, little CMS http://digikam.org/ (more a photo management application than RAW editor) 8.f-spot – OSS, Gnome project http://f-spot.org/Main_Page more a photo management application than RAW editor) 9.lphoto – OSS, possibly no raw support http://lphoto.com (just a photo management app) 10.Picasa – Google, non-OSS, free, http://www.google.com/picasa (photo management, read RAW, no RAW editing)
11.krita - photo editor, can read RAW using one of dcraw or ufraw.
12.gimp - photo editor, needs dcraw plugin to read RAW files

I wonder if RAW Therapee could be made to have a change of mind and made an OSS.
