Scribus will still work, but it will be slow.
Hi, still running a P166 here, with 64 MB Ram, on SuSE 7.1. Scribus compiles in half an hour, and runs fine on it. A compile time of 3 hours seems strange to me. The only small issue is that if the text in a text box gets longer, it takes some time for the screen to rebuild after every character you type. This phenomenon has been mentioned before in this list. So I use some text editor to type a long text, then import it. S.H.
