"Scribus is a Layout program for GNU/Linux®, similar to Adobe® PageMaker™, 
QuarkXPress™ or Adobe® InDesign™, except that it is published under the GNU 
GPL. 
Currently, it is still in its early stages of development, but rapidly 
maturing and very useable. Already, it has the ability to layout newsletters, 
create corporate stationery, small posters and other documents which need 
flexible layout and/or the ability to output to professional quality 
imagesetting equipment. You can do all the typical tasks like placing and 
rotating text and/or images on a page, specify manual kerning of type and 
much more. 
While the goals of the program are for ease of use and simple easy to 
understand tools, Scribus offers support for professional publishing 
features, such as CMYK color, easy PDF creation, Encapsulated Postscript 
import/export and creation of color separations. 
Graphic formats which can be placed include Ecapsulated Post Script (eps), 
Joint Photographic Experts Group (jpeg), Portable Network Graphics (png) and 
XPixMap(xpm)"

Linux is really progressing in leaps and bounds with such things!
