 Slackware means you never have to wait for a deb or an rpm :).  But users of 
 most other distros can do the same if they are in a hurry for Gimp 2.4rc3. 

I have just looked at the Ubuntu 7.10 'try it first disc' and Gimp
2.4rc3 was on it.

I've finally got that installed on Feisty. I started too soon, as
Richard Hirner (thanks!) sent me a link for a native Feisty
package after I'd got all of the strings loose. It's taken 49
package updates  the Feisty kinda thinks it's Gutsy at the
moment.

Good-night from GMT+11 (GMT+10+DST), I'll let you know
soonish how it actually runs.

Cheers; Leon

Correction, 79 packages including a couple of _games_ I had
to update to track changes in font-names used in a GIMP
dependency.

This RAM-limited Celeron 566 makes it run kind of slowly, but
it does run reliably  some of the newer tools are enjoyable.

A friend from the other side of Oz will be mailing me a set
of Gutsy CDs  a DVD, so I'll use those to update all of the
way when they arrive. Wouldn't surprise me to see Ubuntu put
real 2.4 up as an update to replace ~rc3 shortly.

OBTW, the package list is here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/gimp

I'm fetching from Pacific, which happens to be in Sydney, near
where this dialup has its POP (although I'm actually in western
Tasmania). The wonders of the Internet would be happy to fetch
it from Belgium or Canada instead, but if dialup accounts cared,
that would be free (no quota) traffic  fast (not that Mr 5.2kB/s
Modem cares about that, either :-).

Hmm. Fires up an Ubuntu Feisty desktop...

Only 2.2.13 in the optional collection, let's see... Festy Fawn...
Gutsy Gibbon... Horrible... er, what sort of interesting animals
begin with an H? Here is Tamania we have Devils (done), Quolls
(way future), Wombats (future) and a kind of Wallaby called a
Pademelon (future). Hmmm... (-:

OK, Gutsy has 2.4.0~rc3 so I might give that a whirl (Pacific
Internet's mirror seems to have a copy). I wonder what other
dependencies I'll have to drag down -- other than an entire
distro, which would be more than a little tedious over this
dialup link.

AFAIK, nowhere. Wait a few days, at worst a week or two for
2.4 to be fully released  the Windows packagers to catch up.

Oh,  she also has a Windows laptop, so she'd also be interested
in 2.4 for Win32 for those hard days. (=:
