Right on, actually, I have wanted to try the 2.0 version of GIMP.  I
have been hearing good things about it.  Two questions if you please.

1. Do I enter the command
emerge gimp-2.0_pre2
in order to build & install?

2. Will GIMP 2 exist along side GIMP 1.2 or must I remove 1.2.  If they
do exist side by side, what is the executable for 2 called...  I mean
1.2 already has 'gimp', so what happens there?

Thank you very much for the information.

Adrian
