Damn Small Linux replaces Xpaint with MtPaint
I found out through Distrowatch that the next release of Damn Small Linux, version 4.2, will replace Xpaint with the unusually light, highly usable MtPaint -- pretty much my favorite Linux image editor. (If it dealt with IPTC info in JPGs, it would be my favorite photo-editing program on all platforms.)
It makes DSL that much more usable for the kind of work I do; with MtPaint, I can easily crop and resize images for Web publication. And MtPaint is one of the fastest programs of this type out there. In Puppy Linux, where I first discovered MtPaint, it loads in mere seconds and does just about everything I need.
And with the the GTK2(??) MyDSL package, you can add AbiWord, then even the GIMP if MtPaint isn't enough for you. It all depends on how much you want to tart up your DSL installation. While I gravitate toward Puppy, I also use DSL quite a bit, depending on which distro works better for the given hardware and working situation.
Hint: MtPaint is NOT available in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories, but IS easily downloaded and installed in .deb package format. There's also a Slackware package at the same site.
Another hint: Distros that offer MtPaint include Vector and Wolvix.
