| The major change for this release seems to be a big usability 
| overhaul. New defaults are now in place that make the Gimp look 
| a little bit like Photoshop, but still has many features that 
| make it unique.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report

| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
