Most Linux distros (Ubuntu is an exception) come with the necessary software 
tools to download a source tarball,  configure, compile and install it. That 
is what I did.

Slackware means you never have to wait for a deb or an rpm :<).  But users of 
most other distros can do the same if they are in a hurry for Gimp 2.4rc3.
