Welcome, Craig.
I have only been using Scribus for a short time, so I only have one data point
to give you. I used Scribus to create a 32-page program for my barbershop
chorus' show which included a lot of graphics and some text. I used
a 1GHz iMac
with 512 MB RAM with no problems.
Also, to help you get up to speed, you might want to check out
http://www.scribus.net.
There is an on-line users guide
(http://146.87.55.6:82/documentation/topics.html)
and a great tutorial, http://146.87.55.6:82/docs/index.html. The
tutorial is a translation
of the original French that was based on version 0.4.8. A lot has
changed in the dialog boxes
since then, so you'll have to adapt, but it will give you a good
flavor for the capabilities of
Scribus. If you know French, there are more tutorials based on
version 1.something
by the same person at http://www.yeccoe.org/docs/scribus/scribus.html.
Good luck. I've been very pleased with Scribus.
