The Gimp is a very complicated, sophisticated, full-function raster image manipulation program. It's not reasonable to expect it to have a quick learning curve.
I'd suggest you've chosen the wrong tool. Randall Schulz
I completely agree. Too bad SuSE chose it for me I guess. After checking

Hey, AutoCad is not that easy either, altho it's easy to make circles, and it's vector-based also. I've used it to design prototype pcb's for almost 20 years, and I never went to school for it. I've been told that a clone for Linux exists, but that it's a pretty poor job, unless it has improved lately. If anybody knows, please advise the list. Personally, I have never seen a "drawing" program (as opposed to an engineering program) that I could learn to love. Nor, for that matter, some of the other engineering programs. One of the pcb programs that the professional layout guys were forced to use I did go briefly to school for, and resolved never, ever, to try and use it! --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
