[scribus] Best Linux distro for Scribus

[Richard]

The mistake is not kde4, is the use of it before it came to stable and 
the ammount of changes upcoming.
Also, it requires a new approach on kernel and drivers, so much hardware 
that was working on KDE3 is not working on KDE4, the sample is any ATI 
graphics card older than x15XX (or around it) and/OR RS690 chipset.
Me and a lot of people is being affected by the lack of drivers for that 
chipset and graphics card wich were working and existed on KDE3 but not 
on KDE4.
I mean, ATI made it's last driver for KDE 3.5 but is not compatible with 
KDE4.
So if i want a full capable graphics card i have to keep on KDE 3 AND i 
cant use my laptop because THERE IS NOT correct ACPI management for my 
chipset now.
Anyhow, there is an opensource driver, but again, it was working fine on 
KDE 3.5 but not on KDE 4.

Now, i konw certain person without life is coming to bother about OT and 
such things, because he's threatned by my writings, so i'll end up here 
and let the suppossed masters to keep dictating(dictatorship) the way 
it's meant to be..
