That's why I put > "unstable" in quotes. ;) 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.
