Hello all,
For those of you who foam at the mouth to get your hands on the latest and greatest copy of a certain software, specifically in this case Gimp, you might have interest here.
I recently read a post on the Gimp website that said Gimp would finally be moving to a single window with docks and away from it's flying free method where your tools are in their own windows that can be put anywhere. That being said, I am quite eager to get a look at 2.8. Sadly though, 2.8 is not available yet(as far as I know at least). Version 2.7 is still in beta, but it IS in beta. :)
Here's how we install it on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Crack open a terminal and type
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn
After you've added that repository, type...
sudo apt-get update
Once our list of repositories is updated, let's install gimp 2.7
sudo apt-get install gimp
That's it! Enjoy all the new functionality.
