Installing Gimp on Ubuntu 11.1

Last month I installed Gimp on Ubuntu 11.1 which dropped Gimp since they deemed it too complex for new linux converts. Since this was last month I don't remember all the steps I took but I did copy the commands to a file and they might come handy in future. Here they are...
