We have a user that uses Adobe PageMaker and other similar stuff and her win machine constantly crashes. We would like to move her to Linux but need to find a similar product for her to use first. Any ideas?

Jason, This question is quite timely as there is an alternative coming up for Linux, which may prove to be much better than PageMaker! I used the program extensively on the Amiga computer where previously I had used PageMaker on the Mac & IBMs. It is called PageStream and has just recently been released for Linux. Of course, the suggestion for Scribus is an alternative as well, although not quite as developed. The PageStream is also available for Windows & Mac, but my understanding is that the Windows version is not their most stable. Here is your url: http://www.grasshopperllc.com/ She can get a competitive upgrade price right now and with orders now, a free TextFX will be included. It was difficult to convince the author to build a Linux version as he was under the assumption that Linux users were all freeloaders and wouldn't pay for a useful program. I think he is wrong and told him so. I haven't had a chance to get it yet, but am convinced it will find a nice following in Linux as it did on the Amiga!
