Hopefully, one day Bluemarine (http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it/) will be available. Until then, the nearest thing to it is probably Bibble (http://bibblelabs.com/). Version 5 has just been released and is a great deal better than version 4.

Last time I checked, it didn't work, although the interface is really nice and the features are great..

What exactly are you looking for?

Raw Therapee has worked perfectly for me in the past, but I own Adobe Lightroom 2 now and use it on XP. The only true alternative to Adobe Lightroom 2 is Apple's Aperture 2 but that is only available on Apple OS's.

I've only used the demo, and you really have to use something like this for a while in order to give a good review, but LightZone (http://www.lightcrafts.com/lightzone/) seems to be very nice.

There are a few digiKam (http://www.digikam.org/), Shotwell (http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/), Fotoxx (http://kornelix.squarespace.com/fotoxx-gallery/). With the exception of digiKam, a lot of these are very new releases.

Lightzone is really nice. Very professional program. I played around with the old (free for Linux) version and liked that a lot.

For a native linux client as the best alternative to lightroom, use lightzone. Its awesome.

Don't bother with crap like raw therapee. Its not professional standard. Has potential, but is pretty much unusable for pro use as it is.

Lightzone has one of the best lightmapping and light correction tools available on any app. Its up there with control points in capture NX. Its that good.

Another bump for Bibble 5. Even the beta was damn fast. It has a native linux client but it's not free in either sense. Still, I dont mind paying for quality apps and this is one of them.

Also, if you get the pro version, your registration will work for both windows and linux versions.

It's still quite a bit cheaper than Lightzone.

serviceproz (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1802011) No, it will not run. But you could use GIMP or F-Spot.

Just checked the lightzone screen shot on google images. It looks quiet familiar with Lightroom.
Planning to install ubuntu today on my system. As i do work on lightroom so i am searching for alternate for this. Will do it today.

Lightzone has been open-sourced and is free these days.

I'm not familiar with Lightroom, but I do my Raw processing using UFRaw attached to Gimp.

I use Gwenview as my base or default viewer for images . I find it is reliable, and with very good prformance, and includeds necessary basic features such as re-size, copy, move.

Gwenview is an excellent browser and viewer

and it goes beyond that in that it also features OPEN WITH which allows you to open an image in RawTherapee, or GIMP, or KolorPaint -- which in effect creates a "studio" -- all open-source and at n/c

Gwenview also has an excellent "share with" interface if you like posting to Flickr, etc (it has a bunch of interfaces )
