I've been using Linux for the past number of years, starting back with RedHat 7.0. The RPM has become somewhat of a familiarity you might say, and I kind of like them. However, I do find it a bit of a pain when I had Scribus 1.2.2 cvs running perfectly from a desktopp directory until my hard drive died a sudden and quite unexpected death about a month ago. Had to do a complete system reinstall on a new (and bigger!) hard drive, and it was only then that the problems started with Scribus. Hopefully Mandrake will be more advanced when I upgrade to the next version, but that won't be for a while. For now I'll just do the regular updates and live with it. Scribus 1.0 will do what I want it to for now, and I guess that's all that really matters. > Hi Greg: > > As the ol' saying goes "I feel your pain".
