I've been using it for all kinds of madness at work and home -- it's simply one of the best image maniuplation programs you can find. The fact that it's free is icing on the cake. |

Well... there are other proggies which excel in other ways, but it does exceptionally well as an all-rounder. And for many people, dropping AUD$1200 for a graphics program (twice the cost of a cheap-but-good machine) is not a viable option. If you're using 2.0 I strongly recommend an update to 2.2 for all of the shiny new conveniences - too numerous to list - and if you don't like the new file-open dialog then either use something else and paste it into an Open/Location box or write your own dialog. That multitude of conveniences make an inordinate difference to the joy factor. |

PS, the .src.rpms from Cooker (you need a new Gtk+ too) rebuild cleanly on Mandrake 10.0; I'll put the binaries up on http://mandrake.cyberknights.com.au/10.1/ sometime later today for the terminally lazy. |

Whoops, s/10.0/10.1/ - the RPM requires a later glibc than 10.0 possesses. |
