is there only one gimp port to win9x?  i have one and i must say, it's
pretty good.  if i ever have three computers, i think i'll make one of
them linux.  people have said a lot of good things about linux.  of
course, i could have multiple os's on one machine, but i am of the
opinion that it's not worth any headaches that MAY arrise.
