How does Scribus compare to PageStream? I've recently switched to 64-bit, and running PageStream is not currently a viable option. On the other hand, building and installing KDE won't exactly be a minor undertaking either, so I'm curious to know if it's worth it.

You do not need KDE, only a recent version of Qt 3.1+. Qt 3.3.3 is recommended. See: Scribus Installation for all the requirements.

Oops! Sorry!

Yes, I know that Scribus does not require a full KDE installation (guess my brain was on a brief vacation there; still waking up). However, I'm also considering doing a full KDE install, in case my normal GNOME environment goes haywire (happens rarely, but it does happen, usually as a result of my twiddling), so maybe my wires just got crossed and I got the two thoughts mixed up. Sorry 'bout the mixup!
