Slowly Making Friends With The New Gimp
What's driving me to put Gimp 2.4 on my Slackware box (my main office) is that I can never again do a Gimp tutorial until I am set up with 2.4. The interface overhaul is just too massive; every Gimp tutorial currently published in print or the web has now become worthless.
It's things like this that held me back from mastering Blender; I was just getting pretty good with it, when they rebuilt it. At least half the tutorials out there for Blender even now make references to buttons that no longer exist and menu paths that have changed. Hopefully, the Gimp community can handle itself better. For anybody who asks, I will be putting a header on each of my own Gimp tutorials specifying that they are for 2.2.
Anyway, I'm running Slackware 11.0, having just dialed in the perfect distro setup as I reviewed here. This may come as a shock, but I don't keep current on my main work station. I apply the Debian philosophy; I want long-term stability, because there is so much that is so complicated that I do, that getting it all set up takes something like a month. I was prepared to never upgrade the main system again for at least another year.
