Install gcc. Scribus has quite a few dependencies you may need to supply, especially if you're not running the latest Mandrake (libpng3 was the one which screwed me - my system didn't like having libpng2 and libpng3 installed at the same time, though I can't see why this should be a problem). For the brief period I had Scribus on my machine I found it impressive, though still rather alpha-ish. It has the potential to become an Open Source alternative to publishing software like Quark or PageMaker, but not just yet, I think. What software you use will depend on the kind of layout you want for your newletter, and any requirements your printers may have. KWord might even do the job, or LyX, if you want a fairly plain, academic-style newsletter (I've known someone even do a fanzine in LyX, but that requires a good knowledge of LaTeX, so probably isn't worth the effort ).
