Hi to everyone, Since I did not think that this post is about asking a technical question on FreeBSD, I thought I should try this list first for any advice or help. Now here is my problem, I have been incharge (on/off) for the publication of our Newsletter (we call it Bulletin Board), I have had experiences on Adobe's expensive applications...Photoshop and PageMaker...What would be the best way (application in the ports) for me to start with...? I have tried Scribus from the ports but, it is like using PageMaker with a Distiller inside, please do not get me wrong I have nothing against Scribus...I just want to learn new ideas... Besides, the publication only have 4 pages with 2-4 images per page...and I will have to print some copies and email some (text) and maybe upload in our website. I have search the internet...DocBook, XML...(did not have the courage to read all because, there were just too many and I still do not know if I am in the right track... I was thinking of using Vim as my editor (close to vi, would really help me learn both)...but after that, I do not know what to do next... Anybody using FreeBSD for small DTP here? Mine is just 4 pages...If you could reply with some links where to start? Would be a big help for me...I hope I have not wasted your time with this long posting... Srot BULL
