Scribus 1.0 Released

McShazbot writes "Graphics.com has this article about the release of Scribus 1.0 (homepage, mirror) desktop publishing software. Check out some screenshots. If it can even marginally compete with the industry leader, this is a big deal -- I know a lot of people for whom Quark is the killer app that prevents them from moving to Linux, and most of them are tired of paying a grand for the privilege of using it."

How long has that server been in operation? How long will it persist? Slashdotting causes extreme load for, perhaps, one day. Define "brought down." The link is saturated and timeouts occur? Load goes to 100% and requests get ignored? What tragic consequences are there of this? It's a temporary DOS. Is the server actually physically being damaged and costing someone extraordinary amounts of money? I doubt it. Slashdotting may be rude, but it isn't a crime and it's probably not even much of an actual problem.
