[OT] GIMP paint studio

[Richmond Mathewson]

Sorry I didn't reply earlier.

GIMP does still require xWindows to run on a Mac; but installing xWindows is
a no-brainer. As I have my Mac set to launch xWindows at startup it doesn't
really get in the way.

GIMP is good, very good; and with these add-ons it is even better.

The add-ons work exactly the same on Linux (can't vouch for Windows)
and, to my mind at least, it is jolly nice to swap from editing images 
on the
computer on the left (my G4) to the one on the right (my Heinz-57 Pentium 4
running Ubuntu) without having to remember how to use another graphic
program.
