It is easy for the discussion of running Scribus on either GNU/Linux or Windows to deteriorate into meaningless and senseless arguments, unless one reverts to the fundamental aspect of the question.
What are the "real" advantages/disadvantage of either Operating System (OS) environment, and features of Scribus available in both. If the evaluation of Windows versus GNU/Linux covers and is restricted to - Reliability, Performance, Flexibility (configuration options), Ease-of-Use, Security (very, very important) and Value (Overall Costs/ROI), then there is little argument - or should be - that GNU/Linux is "proven" far superior to any iteration of Windows up to and including Vista, even given that most creditable Market Research firms and some Fortune 500 corporations have determined that /*neither OS has an advantage in the 'Ease-of-Use area*/, of which the choice is purely personal. Therefore, using Scribus on either OS would or should take above into consideration, along with other applications used and the working/business arena that may dictate a particular selection. Any other rhetoric or ravings are irrelevant. W. Anderson wanderson at kimalcorp.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
