Hi folks, first, the success: I created in Scribus a document which contains 70 (!) pages - on each page a two-columned-textframe with the page-number on the alias-site. The text was floating from page to page, sometimes with some more textframes on the pages. At the moment, there are no pictures in the document.
At the end -ergh - Scribus was a little bit slow, specially when scrolling the pages. But there was no crash, I finished the document with no problems. Also creating a PDF works fine. I used Scribus 1.3.3 on Windows. Second: The surprise. I started - on the same machine! - VMware with an installation of OpenSuse 10. I installed Scribus 1.3.3 in this virtual machine and opend the doc which I created on Windows. There were now differents to the Windows-version - fine. Now, working with that document, on the same machine, but in the virtual machine, was *much more faster* ... specially scrolling the pages. Conclusion: Scribus is a Linux-program. As that, it works much more faster on Linux than on Windows. But, independently of the OS, it's a very usable layout-program which also works fine with complex documents. I love it :-) Greetings, Tom
