Mmmmmm.... Another fanatical Gimp user. Wahoo! I was hoping I wasn't its only 
fanatic on island...  ;-)
  
The Windows version of Gimp *is* a bit behind the Linux version, is a bit 
buggy, and doesn't have all of the features of the Linux version. That's a 
selling point for Linux. ;-)

A Linux version of Gimp does exist, though, and it's a much better graphic 
editor than paintbrush. I don't know this for sure (I don't use Windows any 
more), but I'd think Gimp is better than *any* free or cheap image editing 
program in the Windows environment. Comparable software generally goes for 
hundreds of dollars.

Do you think Gimp's flaws in the Windows environment will detract from our 
message (open-source software is as good as commercial software, see for 
yourself...)?
