For most impositions I use a very simple "freeware" utility called "Gimpose" (http://www.noliturbare.com/) which is written for Windows but runs perfectly under Wine. It does the most common kinds of impositions, including saddle-stitch booklets, two pages per sheet, duplicate pages side by side, and cut stacks.
When I need to do more complicated impositions, I have to fire up Windows XP in a Virtual Box and run Acrobat Pro with the "Quite Imposing" plugin (which are both rather pricey).
