[yottie]

A friend is looking for a basic starters "windows type" paint program.
Would Pinta do the job?

Paint.NET? -

Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows.

Simple enough to replace MS Paint, but enough extras to make it a decent image editor.
