I've got gentoo; its my first linux box, and have been using it for a couple months now. I like it, except for the lack of some programs, like a really good vector prog. Also games, need games! But w/ gentoo, you get complete control over your box, and things as up-to-date as you care to be. Big thumbs up!

I like the GIMP as well, if only I had time to do anything w/ it...After 2.0 it pulled ahead of Photoshop, if you take into account $$.

@Ritalin: where did you get "abr 2 gbr"?

I was wondering if anyone had good sites/resources that they wanted to share for The GIMP. I'm specifically looking for tutorials, and brush/texture/plug-ins, tips/tricks welcome too. I'll start with some fairly obvious ones that I've found.

http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ -right off it's homepage, seems a little biased to photo-edits though
http://gug.sunsite.dk/ -Gimp Users Group, very nice site, with great tut's
http://empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/~nem/gimp/tuts/ -I admit I haven't looked through this on much, seems ok tho
http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/gimpbrushes/ -DA's GIMP brush selection, kinda small but good
http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/gimpactions/ -just found it, wah?

Thanks in advance.
*edit* I have "googled", but get surprisingly little, maybe I'm just picking bad searches? */edit*
