Unfrotunately when I compiled the latest free Qt for my Slack 9 system other parts of Slackware stopped working. So I have another plan. What readily available distros and releases of Linux work well with Scribus? I have an extra partition that I can set up as my Scribus partition until the dust settles on Qt & Linux. It means rebooting when I want to play with Scribus but I can live with that over the short term. > > Qt is available at http://www.trolltech.com > > Looks like it's downloading time again folks - 12Mb for the tar.bz2 or > 14Mb for the tar.gz > > TTFN > > Paul -- John Culleton Able Typesetters & Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
