Apart from the 8bit restriction you can do everything in Gimp that you can do in photoshop. Just the interface is completely different, ther's another logic behind it, and things are somethimes called differently.
While learning Gimp I often had photoshop open in one window (at least photoshop 7 runs with wine, or use virtualbox with an XP...) and gimp in another. Then I followed some complicated photoshop tutorials step by step and tried to achieve the same result in Gimp for every step. During this I got used to gimp's way of doing things - and now I prefer gimp... I now use it as "automatic" as I did before with photoshop.
It's a huge program and you will have to invest some time to learn, just as you would have to with any new photoshop version, too...
Look at gimpshop is in packman. I've never used it. It seems Daniel's approach is the best and it is to learn gimp.
I have that on my mom's 10.2 system. She *kind of* likes it but still misses Photoshop. She had been using Photoshop since version 4.x on her Mac and then Win98 machines. Apparently when I switched her over to openSUSE and forced her into using GIMP, she basically gave up on photo editing. Even with GIMPShop, it doesn't work the way she wants.
