None. 8.04 is an LTS (Long Term Support) release which means you get
bug fixes and security updates for _3_ years on the desktop. By then a
new LTS will be out (due 2010) and you could upgrade directly from
8.04 to that new LTS, skipping the releases between.

I use fspot for photo management under GNOME. If you want to slideshow
a set of photos you could tag them with some event name and then click
the event on the left to show only those pictures, then start the
slideshow. You can tag photos as they are imported too.
