Hi, Having seem RM's Connect 3 getting a bit of a pasting recently I thought it worth asking if anyone has experience of using WinGIMP on a Connect 3 network. I am having some stick from the art/photography courses about why we can't have Adobe Photoshop available throughout the school - (I have several thousand answers to that one!). Some of the Art Dept and students have tried the WinGIMP versions (both 1.25 AND 2.0) and would like to take it further. Anyone got any comments? Mike Turnbull St Mary's School Shaftesbury
Hi Mike,
Hi, Having seem RM's Connect 3 getting a bit of a pasting recently I thought it worth asking if anyone has experience of using WinGIMP on a Connect 3 network.
The principal problem with RM Community Connect 3 is the 'Boot Up' time when you power up a workstation, and the 'Log On' time when you logon to the network and the workstation downloads you user profile from the server. Once you get a Windows 'Start' menu it works pretty much like a standard Windows XP workstation, so The Gimp should work OK. Hope this helps, David Bowles
We have Gimp on our Connect 3 network and the Design Tech teachers like it and the real expert in the Department rates in the same class as Photoshop. John Marsh I.T. Resources Manager Harrogate Grammar School N.Yorks Michael Turnbull writes:
