Novell has not removed GIMP from SLED 11. I use GIMP at least once a week with my SLED 11 machine. It is possible that the preload on the HP Mini doesn't have GIMP pre-installed, which does seem odd, but if that's the case that's an HP issue. The default install on the SLED 11 media does in fact install GIMP. This is completely untrue. Novell has not removed GIMP from SLED 11. I use GIMP at least once a week with my SLED 11 machine.
