creating a business card layout in linux.

i need to create a few business card layouts for a friend. Would Scribus be a good choice for such a task? Or would someone suggest something better? I have never used Scribus before.

There's this:

http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=254

I haven't installed it so your guess is as good as mine as
far as function.

I use OpenOffice's card maker. Works well for me.

dr_zayus69 · 02-16-2005, 05:03 PM

is card maker part of the standard openoffice.org suite or do i need to get it seperately?

It's in the menus for "New" on the writer portion of OO.

File->New->Business Cards

I just noticed that KWord has that as well so there are
options to you can choose.

thanks for all the help. I resolved all the dependencies for scribus so i'll check that out as well as OO cardmaker.

I would also second using Glabels or openoffice.org, they seem to just work fine for me.
