Get the gimp 2.8

[Fintan]

I have been using the gimp 2.7 for a while, but it was always a pain to install.
Now for those of you who want the Gimp in single window mode here is a painless solution.

You can install 2.8 with the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp

You will have to set Gimp to single window mode at the first start with windows -> single window. This state will be remembered for each start.

Enjoy

I installed last week the same way, it is most impressive.
