Is there really no open source alternative to PDF files? Maybe whatever the heck Scribus uses? Or at least .war files (tarred web pages as saved by Konqueror)? Sure, these are KDE... but I don't use Gnome. Maybe TeX files? Help me out here, people.
PDF is currently an open format - I don't know exactly what type or degree of open, but it is open. You don't need to use acrobat to read it, nor to generate pdfs (with some practical limitations). And, there is no open format that can compete with PDF (with a similar feature set), for practical purposes: it is very widely known and supported, on probably every operating system. That is important.
By the way, do the current versions of the distro still come with an RPM of HOWTO files? I don't even remember if my current 11.0 did.
At least 11.0 does. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
