Alison,

If the documentation at http://www.scribus.net/?q=debian is not sufficiently
understandable please tell the specifics, so I could improve it. The
step-by-step instructions were created to aid people who might not know anything
about installing software packages on Debian/Ubuntu Linux. So, if you run into
problems and describe them it could help me improve documents for others to come
after you.

Cheers,

Alex.
