I produce a 30-35 page monthly Club Journal with Scribus and it works 
100%!! I have just moved to the latest version and LOVE it. I'm running 
it on Kububtu 10.04.

My Journal is double sided (for printing out) and in Landscape format - 
for easy reading on a 16:9 monitor. It has 3 columns per page and many 
photos and Scribus handles it all very well.
