PClinuxOS (PCLOS) is a version of Linux which is both a Live CD and an installable system. I first tried it just over a week ago and I am extremely impressed with it. My only disappointment is that the version of Scribus included is still at 1.1.6. especially as most of the software is really up to date.
If anyone is running PCLOS and would like to bring Scribus up to date, I found that the source code would build, but you needed to install the following packages first: libtiff3-devel, libtiff3-static-devel, libcups2-devel, libpython2.3-devel You can also use the Mandrake RPM version. Firstly download scribus-1.2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm and libscribus0-1.2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm files from http://www.gulus.org/scribus/RPMS/ then you need to go to a Mandrake main repository, and download libstdc++6-3.4.1-4mdk.i586.rpm. I found this at http://gulus.usherb.ca/pub/distro/Mandrakelinux/official/current/i586/media/main/ You then need to install these using kpackage, first libstdc++6, then scribus ignoring dependencies, then libscribus0. (Scribus will not install without libscribus0, which will not install until the old version has been overwritten!). I haven't been able to test either for any length of time, so if your computer blows up, etc., I cannot be held responsible!! Hope this is of help to someone!
