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

[Aakin N. Patel]

:    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?

Hrm. I can get it to compile on my sorcerer box, but the debian testing
one has issues. Specifically, I can't get the right set of qtlibs. The
configure program always complains that it can't find a qt version
higher than 3.3 no matter what I have installed.

Would you mind dumping me a "dpkg -l |fgrep -i qt" so I can compare
it to mine and see what I'm missing?

Thanks!
