I'm sending this to the guys at TechTV, and to the nerdy people I'm related to. I figure one of you should be able to answer my question, and hopefully get this question on the Screen Savers or Call for Help. My question would get some air time and that would be cool.
Here it goes:
I'm trying to install GIMP on OS X but I'm a little confused. I have OS X 10.2.1 Jaguar right now and wanna install the latest version of GIMP. I saw that awhile ago on one of Uncle Jays computers. I decided that I wanna install that on OS X in Jaguar. I got Leo's 2003 Technology Almanac for Christmas and the March 3rd download of the day talks about downloading GIMP for OS X. To quote "To get Gimp running on OS X you'll have to install X Windows first", not really sure what that is.
That info is outdated. You do not want to install X windows from fink, you want to get it from Apple. However, I think X11 currently requires 10.2.4 or better.

Can somebody guide me through this?
Are you really SURE you want/need GIMP? Why? What are you planning to do with it?
Gimp, and X11, is generally for megageeks who spend most their time in the command-line and want to play with X for some arcane reason. It is not for beginners and OS X's Aqua is much much better.
Sorry if this email sounds kinda vague and confusing. I'm just very confused.
Then reassess if you really want Gimp.
