Title: I have found a windows version of "The Gimp" (12.26)
Post by: Fozzy on February 11, 2002, 12:20:00 pm
when I first got my computer I heard people at college talking about linux and a Gimp thing, at first I thourt they were being pervy. Now I understand. I understand the POWER OF THE GIMP. Dont ask me what it means (i think it means GNU image manipulation program), all I know is when I saw somone useing this ultimate FREE image manipulation software I wanted it so I baught Linux SUSE, only to find out that Linux is hard to use. now I think I have solved it by finding a Windoze verson.

The Gimp is GNU's answer to Photoshop. GNU ("http://www.gnu.org") (which stands for GNU's not Unix) or the free software foundation was started by anarchistic programmers that believed that to own intellectual material was (is) wrong (whatever your opinion on this, a lot of free (software that doesn't cost anything as well as is free to develop) is handy). Open source is a more level headed intuitive than the GNU project as it was designed to encourage businesses to release the source code. But The Gimp is a great program  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Now I'm not sure about a Windows version but linux isn't hard. Check the Latest distros, they beat Win XP for looks as well as performance and reliability  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Though it crashes sometimes...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

I use "The GIMP" along with
"Corel PHOTO-PAINT". to get maximum results with minimum effort

Actually the MacOSX Aqua shell puts all of the latest Linux Window Managers to shame with Windows XP's Luna shell (when properly set up of course: The silver theme with a matching (ie: not green) Start button.) coming a close second despite being a cheap knock off of Aqua.
