Before I was in winblowz but finally was able to find a system of linux that apps I could use for this purpose and converted everything over. Scribus has been in constant development for 13 years, and its powers include professional typesetting and colour management (but not Pantone colours due to licensing, although you can add. I have been working a side job for several years now as an editor and pre-press agent for a small publisher.
