There are numerous places to get icc profiles....often from the support
of the hardware manufacturer themselves. 

profiles apply to all profile aware software.

If you have been using programs like GIMP successfully without profiles
You probably don't need them. If you have a problem getting your photos
graphics etc to come out like you want them color wise you probably do.

If you produce graphic art and outsource printing you should definitely
look into them.
