Hello,
? I constantly follow the posted emails and responses, which are both
enlightening and informative, especially for a "newbie" like myself.? It's been
awhile since I bothered you and the contributors to this mailing list with what
must appear to be simplistic queries, and I appreciate the time, attention, AND
PATIENCE the Scribus Team and your knowledgeable contributors are willing to
invest in responding to them.? :)
? This time, my question has to do with using Linux.? I installed Scribus on
two Windows XP-based laptops--a 6-year-old Compaq Presario and a recently
purchased Asus EeePC netbook.? I was wondering if there would be any
advantage(s) to partitioning the hard drive of each system, and then running
Linux/Windows and installing a Linux version of Scribus, which the majority of
the contributors to this e-mailing appear to be using.? For example, are there
more dependencies, script libraries, and other GPL software available for the
Linux version and for Linux, in general?
? If the answer to both of these questions is "yes", then I am wondering if I
Will I need to begin studying Linux commands and command structure, as I did
many, many years ago with MS-DOS?? [I obviously know very little about Linux,
so please bear with me.]? Also, if I decide to take this route, should I
consider only the community-driven Linux versions--such as Debian and
Gentoo--or would I be better off trying to get commercially-backed versions
like Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, or Mandriva?? Also, what about Slackware?? What
dependencies should I install for each?? I would appreciate any information and
guidance anyone can provide?? Thank all of you, and keep up the great
work!!???:)
Bob
