First, I worry about data stored and transmitted via the cloud, any cloud. There are issues of invasion by bad guys and also issues of a major crash and oops, the vendor forgot to back up properly. You might want to hire a technologist, a recent computer science graduate, to patch together and maintain your own custom system. You can communicate data easily without locking yourself into cloud technology. Linux is my favorite OS but you need to pick and choose among the various versions. The business-oriented ones like Slackware, RedHat and its descendant Fedora, and SUSI are good candidates. They differ mainly in their GUI presentation software and their package download systems. Ubuntu is very popular among beginners and is used by developers like the Inkscape folks. Its default GUI is IMO terrible but others must like it. It is part of the Debian family of distros. I use Slackware but I modify things to suit myself, such as choosing XFCE instead of KDE, Claws mail instead of Kmail, and so on. I update Scribus 1.4.5, Scribus 1.5.0 and Inkscape 0.91 nightly. Other important tools include the gvim text editor, the Libre Office Suite and so on. For job management in your situation I would look for free versions of the traditional task management and scheduling tools such as PERT, CPM and development repository tools like svg and bzr. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
