The Debian family of releases of Scribus is prominent in its absence. The Debian family includes Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Knoppix and so on. The typical format of distribution files has a suffix of .deb.
On my main computer I use Slackware 14.1 and compile from source using the script from luc. But my wife uses a 32 bit laptop with Knoppix. Short of setting up the laptop to compile from source is there a way to get a 1.5.0 or later version of Scribus for a 32 bit Debian family computer as described above? This problem arose when I attempted to use the laptop during the recent snowstorm. I could copy files from one machine to the other via the local net but I couldn't get Scribus to run on the laptop. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
