A good publishing program


I like most have spent some time using openoffice but find the publishing side of it very bland & basic. Does anyone know of a decent publisher suite for Suse?

When you say "publishing," exactly what type of program/file are you looking at creating?

If for publishing you mean writing books, articles reports and similar I suggest you to learn LaTeX.

If you want to try LaTeX on SuSE you have to install tetex

Like Microsoft Publisher I find the open office software quite gritty and lacking something???????
