Original Paint
I am a GIMP user, wouldn't try Paint or Paint-like before. I read a tweet today about this, so I give it a try.
First of all, let me quote this:
Yes, I couldn't agree with this any more because that is said by me. Anyway, if you are the MS Paint fan, then run it with WINE. I have done this, the steps is quite easy:
You can download this PNG image, I wonder if is anyone interested. I run Paint on WINE-1.1.5 and Fedora 9. The dlls are from Traditional Chinese Windows, the paint.exe is from Dell Windows Reinstalling Setup CD. Both are Windows XP. I extracted paint.exe from Setup CD because the Chinese characters can't be display, they all are displayed as blocks and I don't know how to fix that.
Paint-alternative on Linux
Here is a list of Paint-alternative applications on Linux, maybe they are not really like MS Paint. Just give them a try.
Lastly, when I searched for those alternatives, I found this testiminal video via this Uncyclopeida page:
Enjoy it!

Original is the best -- Yu-Jie Lin.
Yes, I couldn't agree with this any more because that is said by me. Anyway, if you are the MS Paint fan, then run it with WINE. I have done this, the steps is quite easy:
- Installing WINE
- Copy paint.exe and mfc42u.dll from installed Windows system. Or, extract them from Windows Setup CD. You will need cabextract to uncompress the paint.ex_ and mfc42u.dl_ files.
- (Optional) Copy gdiplus.dll to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32. I don't see this on Windows Setup CD. If you don't have gdiplus.dll, then you can only save/load BMP format.
- Running paint.exe.

Here is a list of Paint-alternative applications on Linux, maybe they are not really like MS Paint. Just give them a try.
- gpaint - GNU Paint
- kolourpaint - KDE based
- mtpaint
- tuxpaint - For 3 to 12 ages kids, but I feel that is more powerful than MS Paint.
- xpaint
