Hi all, I hope You have had nice Christmas Eve. My question: I've updated version 4.4, in that version of Gimp is 2.0.5 and the up-to-date version at Gimp website is 2.2.13 (stable). There seems to be 2.2.8 for FC3 but that's not the newest and thus I don't want to get it. How I should proceed when, - I want the latest stable version, - want to get some optional packages - want to be able to update these progs - I want to be able to upgrade this machine to new Centos 4.5 and Centos 5 in future Should I proceed using source code of Gimp and all packages (if they do not exist in my machine already) ? This question may sound a little naive but this is my home machine which I use also much for my works and I'm not willing to re-install it often (and I'm lazy too).

Hello to all, in my previous posts I explained some problem when transferring my system to a new disk. Because the process led me to a new system being unbootable I would like to redo the whole process by creating the partitions and preparing them by myself (instead of relying on gparted to do the job automagically) So, I didn't found how to launch disk druid (I want to avoid fdisk) - Is disk druid only available when installing CentOS ? Is there another fdisk alternative on text mode ? Thank you... ___________________________________________________________________________ D?couvrez une nouvelle fa?on d'obtenir des r?ponses ? toutes vos questions !

CentOS is a coherent and stable system, manually adding or replacing stuff sacrifices that. Besides that, why would you want to upgrade just because there is a newer version? The Gimp in CentOS 4.4 works well and stable (for me). If you want the latest rather than stable software, it may be better to run Fedora. With kind regards and a Merry Christmas, Daniel de Kok
