[Scribus] best OS to keep up with scribus, gscript and inskcape dev...

[Bruno Carvalho Castro Souza]

Hi. I am using Debian Testing and everything works perfectly, including
compiling scribus cvs 1.3.0. Also most of the major packages --
including inkscape, gimp, sodipodi and so on -- are available with
apt-get. Ghostscript, for instance, is shiping with version 8.01-5.

It really is my distro of choice (and I HAVE been testing a lot of
distros in the last two years: Mandrake, RedHat, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo,
Conectiva, Knoppix, Kanotix, Linspire... and those are just the ones
that come readly to mind.

By the way, I know that the beta testing for acrobat 7 for linux is
done, but anyone knows where I can find it?
