Related QuestionsWhich application use gnome-print?

GIMP - DocumentationAny system capable of running Gnome 2, KDE 3.2, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and later versions should be able to run GIMP.

As a general rule, more is better, but 128MB should be enough to be getting started with.

Related QuestionsE5.Why does gEDA not become a GNOME/KDE application?
gEDA General Frequently asked QuestionsgEDA will most likely never come a pure GNOME/KDE application. The developers decided a long time ago that having too many dependancies on external libraries is not a good idea. Especially since gEDA is trying to achieve cross Unix platform portability. This philosophy does not exclude gEDA having support for GNOME/KDE (feel free to contribute code to achieve this), but this support will be a compile (./configure) time option. All file formats with gEDA must be pure ASCII.

Related QuestionsShould GNOME programmers switch over to Mono now?
FAQ: General - MonoYes, we believe that Mono 1.0 is ready to be used as the main development platform for building applications for the GNOME desktop. Mono includes Gtk# a .NET binding for GTK+ and various GNOME libraries which together with C# and the System libraries provide developers with great productivity for building graphical applications especially when compared to GTK+ or Java Swing. Although we had plan to support Bonobo, we have not yet done any work on this area and it is no longer a high priority.
