[Gimp-user] Removing a vertical strip

[Timothy Murphy <gayleard eircom net>]

I'm a complete gimp newbie -
I installed it on my Fedora-22/KDE laptop yesterday.

I want to remove a vertical strip from a photo,
and join the remaining two parts together.
I'd be very grateful if some kind soul could tell me how to do this.

I assume I should be using the guillotine tool.
I have looked at the basic tutorials,
but have not seen any explicit examples of doing what I need.

I did look briefly at the slice plugin,
but could not see how to download and install it on my laptop.
