I'm running Fedora Core 3 with Scribus 1.3.2cvs, with a 2200MHz AMD XP Processor and 256Mb Ram and would say that it can also grind to a halt quite frequently (Final PDF size is about 50Mb to give idea of size). It works - its just slow.. Sometimes painfully slow. My swap space is fairly small (1-2Gb) - "she" keeps filling the temp space with music and video downloads!. I have 1Gb of RAM on the way so that will increase my RAM 5 times, and I will feedback the effect of that and Increasing my swap space after the weekend...
