For decades now I have used Slackware and routinely compiled everything I need to use if indeed there were no current compiled version for Linux that I could download. I have compile scripts for Scribus 1.4.x, Scribus 1.5.0 and Inkscape that run every night automatically thanks to the Linux feature called cron. Occasionally there is a glitch but generally I just sit back in the comfort that I don't have to fuss with cgwin or with repositories. I get the latest version of each and no one can deny me that privilege or charge me a monthly fee. But I am serious about Open Source solutions. I bought my last application program, a music notation program called Mup, perhaps 15 years ago for $25 (now it is free.) I typeset and index books using the Texlive version of TeX distro. I do covers in Scribus. Scribus is one of the programs I am using in my current customer project. Not everyone shares my passion for Open Source solutions. But when I read of problems struggling with Microsoft Windows or OS X I am glad I took the road less travelled back in the last century. Of course without the support of the wise heads on this mailing list including ALE, Luc, Pittman, Bradney, Schafer and Kunda (there are others) I would be in deep water. So I offer a deep bow them and their counterparts on this and many other lists. Try getting that quality of support free out of commercial vendors. And now, back to work using all those wonderful apps... -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
