The GIMP (GNU Image Manipultaing Program) is one of the best program for achieving the wanted graphical result in few seconds. The new 1.2.0 release is based on plug-ins that are used as tools to get unexpected results.
This page want to be an help for all the i386 Linux users to get the last updated version of the official plug-in, compiled to run directly on Linux OS. The sources have been compiled on a Siemens Nixdorf PC based on Intel Pentium III 700 MHz, mounting the Linux Debian 2.2 ( glibc system ).

You will receive automatically all the new plugins directly from the mailing list.
