Forum I was in back in about 2003 were doing image manipulations. Made a fun thing of it each week. Those with the best talent (it seemed)said they were using the Gimp.

Long ago, I visited Larry Ewing's page on how he drew Tux.

http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/

At the time, the only graphics apps I was aware of on Linux were the likes of xv and xpaint. Not very powerful programs. So I was instantly blown away the fact that this quite nice-looking drawing was actually done in a Linux program, and I kept finding these *awesome* pics people had done with GIMP.

That was definitely one of those "you don't need Windows to get through the day" moments. =)

And this was GIMP 0.5x. Stuff really went ballistic when 1.0 finally rolled out.

I was in rehab, decided not to watch TV but to learn the computer. I was learning to type and someone showed me gimp. That was it I did nothing for nine months but learn to type and gimp. I still have a hard time with concentration on reading updates so a lot of my skills on gimp are hit or miss. I have been sober for over five years now and I am so grateful for gimp. Thanks to all involved

Somebody suggested it to me in a forum, back in about 2004 or 2005. I've been a fan ever since.

It was installed by default on my Fedora Core 4. XD
