If you use KDE then you can set this up very easily with Kslideshow. Choose "Appearance & Themes"->"Screen Saver" in the Control Center, then "Banners & Pictures"->"Slideshow". The "Setup" dialog then lets you select a directory that it will search for images (with the option of searching subdirs too). The delay between images is also configurable.

Presumably GNOME has something similar.

This is what I did until recently. However after upgrading KDE it seems to be a bit broken. I have looked for similar under gnome but although there are a few screensavers that can work on an image directory they all do fancy things to the image rather than just transition from one image to another in a slideshow.
