gimp 2.8

[Brian Cluff]

You might want to just skip the 2.2 and 2.4 tutorials and move to the 
tutorials for 2.6+  There are a lot less cosmetic/placement issues 
between those versions.  If you are serious about learning it, once you 
get a grasp of the basics, it will be possible to watch Photoshop 
tutorials and do the same thing in the gimp, since the tools are usually 
there and the names are usually the same or similar.  If not, a quick 
search on Google will tell you the equivalent GIMP name
