I had to ditch OpenSuse 11.2 because of the problems with Gnome 2.8.0, but after wiping it out and installing 11.1 I am back. Yeah, I could have used KDE, but I dislike KDE as much as you dislike Gnome. I haven't installed Scribus yet because I can't find 1.3.5.1. For this long-time Debian user, package management in the RPM world is a mysterious place. I think I need to add the Scribus repository manually, but I don't know where it is how how to add it. I'll figure it out, though.
