Introduction to GIMP
GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.
It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

GIMP for Linux
It’s very likely your 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.

Ubuntu or Debian users can simply run apt-get install gimp to get the latest stable release of GIMP.
openSUSE
SUSE users can install GIMP by running yast -i gimp or zypper in gimp, depending on the distribution version.
Fedora
Similarly to the above, Fedora users can install the latest stable GIMP by running yum install gimp.

Mandriva Linux users can install the latest stable GIMP by running urpmi gimp.
