Thank you for explaining it though, I appreciate > it. Alison, If the documentation at http://www.scribus.net/?q=debian is not sufficiently understandable please tell the specifics, so I could improve it. The step-by-step instructions were created to aid people who might not know anything about installing software packages on Debian/Ubuntu Linux. So, if you run into problems and describe them it could help me improve documents for others to come after you.
