[scribus] running Scribus on eeePC

[Kurt Lhotzky]

I have installed Scribus 1.3.3.12 on an ASUS eeepc 700 ("the first
generation") under eeebuntu. In principle it works perfect but the small
screen makes it not easy to do complex work with Scribus. Nevertheless, if
you just need it to make easy layouts (flyers etc.), it works. I highly
recommand to use a mouse instead of the touchpad ;-)!

Regards,

Kurt
