Bernd,
I use an out of the box Ubuntu 9.10 and I have it installed automatically. As
you note, the ps2pdf is a part of the ghostscript package.
Both SuSE and Ubuntu have the package as well as my Asus laptop and eeePC
laptop.
I would say it's unusual to NOT have this available unless you run a really
exotic distro...
Regards
Dan, M0DFI
