One of the dealbreakers for using Linux as a desktop environment in a typical nonprofit office has been the lack of a decent desktop publishing package.
Enter Scribus. Although it’s only a version 0.9.8, it looks like a serious, functional effort at creating a low-end desktop publishing package. I haven’t installed it yet, but it’s on my list.
I took a look at scribus about a year ago — it wasn’t bad, but it did need some work. I’m interested to know what you find when you install it.
Am just moving into the Linux environment, but really need something to replace MS Publisher. Would be interested in your comments about Scribus and its general useability.
