I am thinking about installing Linux again. I am a big fan of it. Not so much because I think windows sucks or anything. Just because I like Linux. I spend a lot of time at a Unix command prompt at work and just dig the whole Linux/Unix world.
I would like to switch my home computer over entirely to Linux, but my wife also uses the computer. The big show stopper for moving her to Linux right now would be the lack of a Print Shop type of program. Something to make cards, posters, calendars, etc. with a decent clip art library.
Does anything like this exist for Linux. I would be willing to pay for it, but I just can’t find anything. I’ve used Gimp and some of the similar drawing/editing programs, but I have not seen anything with the premade templates for cards, posters, calendars, etc with a decent clip art library included.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

I am also on such a quest, I’ve tried using scribus (looks good on site, not as good while using) but it doesn’t have the templates, just the print shop
How about installing Print Shop for Linux? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00003GO0N/104-1204712-7279924?v=glance
That amazon ad was false advertisement. Doesn’t really run on linux.
I too am looking for something compatible or an alternative to The Print Shop for linux.
That’s a bummer. I really am amazed that something like that hasn’t hit the open source world yet with some kind ability to use all of the images from some of the sites like Flickr and the icon sites.
