You can stroke a selection (rectangle, ellipse as a circle, free-form) as a path.

Right click on a selection, pick selection to path and dig around to stroke path. (Sorry I'm a tiny bit fuzzy). But that is the basic idea.

Selection->path-> stroke path

Strange, isn't it?

Or you can make oval selection, fill it with colour, then shrink selection and delete pixels inside selection... This is my favorite technique because previous method sometimes give noisy line.

Very Strange Indeed.

Are there any other good graphics programs for linux that have circles? O.o

its a vector based drawing editor

i really hate it when it is easier to do somthing in MS Paint then on the GIMP :(

Of course it's not as easy...

MS paint is a baby toy compared to what GIMP can do. MS paint wasn't designed to be a professional image editor. But GIMP was.
