xv by John Bradley was the best image viewing software for Linux that existed in the 90's and early 2000. He was quick to display JPEG, GIF and TIFF. Worked purely with the Xlib library and did not require Gnome or KDE to run.
was far better than the Imagick Image (the time), just that ... For the agony of GNUseiros was a shareware software :) Pay to use, with an interesting peculiarity: the code source was available and several distributions of the time packed up this guy.
Legend has it that in one of TV views of one of NASA's exploration programs, we could see the ubiquitous xv not registered! Incidentally, I do not remember seeing someone registers a copy of this program. Anyway, in my opinion the xv is a venerable software.
