Ragtime Solo - Desktop publishing software using Wine

  Date: Dec 05    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 752
  

For a long time I have been tired of trying to find an easy to work desktop
publishing software application. Well, I found it today! It is called Ragtime
Solo and is somewhat similar to PagePlus by Serif, if you have heard of that
one. Microsoft publisher and Scribus may be for someone else, however not for
me.

Ragtime Solo is a Windows software application and I got it to work in Ubuntu by
using Wine. It works quite nicely. Does anyone know if there is a Website that
shows other Windows applications which work well with using Wine or do you know
of any .exe's from your experience?

The main wine website should have some sort of list - http://www.winehq.org/

Wine has really come a long way, but there are some apps that I have not
been able to get working with standard wine, but those same apps
installed and ran perfectly using codeweavers crossover office. I have
to use viso occasionally at work, and crossover lets me do that on my
ubuntu desktop.

The crossover website has a list of apps also. They have a free trial
download which I used to verify that visio and ms office worked well, so
I paid the $39 to buy the license. Well worth the money IMHO

Codeweavers website - http://www.codeweavers.com/

Scribus is an Open Source program that brings award-winning professional
page layout to Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4/eComStation and Windows
desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to
page layout. Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus
supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations,
Spot Colors, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation.
