Quark 4 was excessively crashy from day one. Quark was aware of this and released anyway. The problem did not go away until nearly two years later with the release of XPress 4.1. Upgrading just that far would save you loads of headaches. As for Scribus on LTSP machines or remoteX, that sounds like a real winner with the right network. VNC might be even better if you've already got a large collection of Windows machines. The advantage of remoteX is that newer X servers can pass everything through SSH for security. Punch that out of LAN via IPsec and even your travelling correspondants can get their work in on time from anywhere in the world! :)
