Ooops, delteted far too many lines... It's better to use the
testing distribution (woody) rather than unstable. Unstable changes very
often. Also note that if you only need a single package (the gimp here),
you can lift the source files from woody/sid (and maybe any deps) and
compile the new package for potato (I have done this to get apache
1.3.22 on a potato box). This has an advantage over just compiling the
source: you have a package, and in the future (whenever you upgrade),
debian will take care of upgrading your package. This is one of the
things debian's good at: the lack of further installations.
