GIMP for Unix-like systems

It's very likely your Unix-like system such as a GNU/Linux distribution already comes with a GIMP package. It is a preferred method of installing GIMP, as the distribution maintainers take care of all the dependencies and bug fix updates. Please note that many distros decide to pin a specific version of GIMP to their releases.

Ubuntu or Debian users can run apt-get install gimp to install GIMP. Ubuntu users may also install GIMP from Software Centre, this includes recent GIMP versions from PPAs.

SUSE users can install GIMP by running yast -i gimp or zypper in gimp, depending on the distribution version.

Similarly to the above, Fedora users can install GIMP by running yum install gimp.

Mandriva Linux users can install GIMP by running urpmi gimp.

GIMP is also available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

GIMP can run on Solaris.

Since the 2.8.2 version GIMP runs on OSX natively. No X11 environment is required.

Currently there are two main installers:

Cases are dribbling in that show that one customer-centric element of the Altoona Water Authority's $6.6 million meter automation and replacement project is working.

As a corollary to its automation of readings, the authority is notified when a residential customer's usage never drops below a gallon per hour for 48 consecutive hours, according to authority billing director Ron Becher.

That indicates a leak, and when it happens, the authority notifies the customer, who can then check and have the leak repaired.

It takes three days between the time a leak begins and the notifications go out, he said.

Before meter automation, it took 45 days, as the authority only read meters once in 30 days, then had to work through the billing process before high-usage for one customer would come to the attention of officials, who could then notify the customer, Becher said.

The improvement is "quite huge," Becher told the board last week.

One case - a vacant building in a shopping center - indicates the potential value.

The authority received an alert, notified the shopping center office, and the center repaired a pipe that had frozen and burst.

Enough water had leaked to generate a bill of $1,200.

Had the same thing happened before automation, the loss would have required an additional zero - $12,000, Becher said.
