I am running slckware and have GIMP and TKDesk installed on the system,
one thing I miss in GIMP is the browse feature that Paint Shop Pro has.
Do you or anyone else know of a prog that lets you browse dirs of pics,
and then you double click and the pic is viewed?? I think I am going to
go for star office, even though it will take forever to download, what
the hell, its only a phone bill :) I still as yet have not got my
printer working, It is a lexmark 1020 colour inkjet, if anyone can
help??
