JK, found a video tut that might get you started a little easier, while it is a couple years old, it's based on Gimp 2.7 which was a non-stable (but workable) version intermediate to the final release of 2.8 version.

The young lady doing the introductory video does a pretty good job of explaining basic setup of the Gimp, she is using it on Fedora. She has an American accent and clearly had a bit too much coffee the morning she did this, since she talks very fast... but it might help you to see how to set up your install so that it more mimics what you're used to in PSCS5.
