[Scribus] Linux Format UK LGM 2006 Review

[Nicholas Vettese]

I use Open Source Software wherever possible, and I use it because it is 
perfect for my needs.  It just seems that there has been a big push for 
Desktop Linux, and FOSS Products in particular.  I just thought that there 
may be some benefit to teaming up with other FOSS Products to put forth 
their masterpieces to a bigger crowd.
