I'm using Mepis. Forgive me, but I was really chicken to mess around with my working system. Color management works, fonts work, every thing works. I've been using Debian for quite a while, and I'm a great fan of apt-get. However, I have certainly "broken" things, even on Debian systems. BUT....I am grateful for your instructions and welcome a chance to learn a bit more, so I set up another machine with Mepis, and Scribus 1.3.2cvs, just like my working box. Following your instructions, I got along pretty far. I think I had to install libart or something like that. I got to ./configure and I installed the dev version of something, and I got some errors concerning fontconfig and something else... By then Alex had the deb binaries available, and I REALLY do need to get back to the actual project (although I love the messing around part-that's why I have spare machines kicking around). So thanks for your excellent instructions. I'll probably go back and see if I can get past the problems later. This mail list has the most helpful people of any list I have ever seen. Thanks.
