Hi. I am using Debian Testing and everything works perfectly, including compiling scribus cvs 1.3.0. Also most of the major packages -- including inkscape, gimp, sodipodi and so on -- are available with apt-get. Ghostscript, for instance, is shiping with version 8.01-5.
It really is my distro of choice (and I HAVE been testing a lot of distros in the last two years: Mandrake, RedHat, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, Conectiva, Knoppix, Kanotix, Linspire... and those are just the ones that come readly to mind. By the way, I know that the beta testing for acrobat 7 for linux is done, but anyone knows where I can find it? ________________________________________________________________________ Bruno Carvalho C.
