Does anyone know of a good place to get free textures online? I'm trying to get some textures to make a map covering a few floors of an office building, and this involves drywall and ceiling tile textures, so if anyone knows where i could find this sort of stuff I'd greatly appreciate any hints :)

Be aware of licensing conditions, etc. Random images off the Intarnets aren't free for the taking.

If normal, spec, parallax, or other maps are not provided , try running the image through crazy bump. With a few adjustments, provided the image is not extremely complex, it can usually generate some pretty good maps.

Crazybump doesn't work on Linux, unfortunately.
(I also don't like the way it goes fullscreen on Windows.)

Someone made a normalmap/heightmap plugin for the GIMP which someone posted a link to not too long ago... Let's see if I can find it.

Yup, here it is at the GIMP plugin registry: http://registry.gimp.org/node/69
From what little I've used it, it looks damn good.
