[NTLUG:Discuss] upgrading gimp with rpm

[lee@brave.com]

i wouldn't mix distributions -- you've already experienced why not to

got a fast internet connection?  go get helix-gnome, it provides a great
utility for updating all kinds of software packages even if you don't
run gnome.  (gimp, gnumeric, gnapster, gaim, etc)  I don't run gnome
(usually) but i still get all my software updated from there...

get the details at http://helixcode.com and when you're ready to
install, click on any download button.  or if you can't wait, you can go
straight to
http://helixcode.com/desktop/instructions.php3?distribution=gognome and
follow the 'structions  :)
