Making a yearbook
I have been included in a team of students assigned to help a small alternative highschool create a memorable year book for their 2002-2003 school year.
I've tried looking at Quark Xpress, Adobe Pagemaker, and Microsoft Publisher. None of them where anything I expected. Pagemaker and Quark Xpress where hard for me to do simple things like putting down text @ a specific size, and font. Any other software suggestions to create a yearbook? Last year the school done their yearbook in Microsoft Word...  -Thanks for your time. |

Adobe Indesign is a nice piece of software for things like that. I used Adobe Photoshop to edit student pics and to create graphics, and Indesign to make the layouts when I volunteered for yearbook last year. Expensive software though.....

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and PageMaker is what my school's Yearbook committee uses.

Thnks guys.
I just got the Indesign demo downloaded, and I'm gonna try it out in a bit. I was lookin at your sig force_flow2002, nice solid system. Every person should dual boot Windows XP Pro & RedHat or Mandrake... but now I notice your a Quad boot... heh... why all the operating system?S |

So I know how to run each one in case someone needs help with a specific one. ie - driver installation, tweaking, general coniguration, etc.
As for mandrake, that's pretty much just for myself. I wanted to toy around with it and eventuall set up a linux server once I start getting a feel for the O/S.

It was suggested to me that Mandrake was easiest to learn for a beginner. I'm pretty much sticking with the GUI.
 I've got a question for you, does RedHat have a GUI, or is it strictly a console? |

it has both KDE, & GNOME pre-installed. You can select which one you want during installation. They told me Mandrake was the way to go for begginers tooo.

For servers most people choose RedHat,
No problems w/ transition. You probably wouldn't notice a difference except for transferring files. If you like mandrake, then stick w/ it. No real reason to change, Ilbet there won't be much difference. |

Isn't there better security with RedHat?

I don't know...
I just don't see any reason off the top of my head, which is filled with limited knowledge.. thats probably why people use RedHat for servers, its soo secure... heh? |

I guess you did.
Say, have you actually set up a server with RedHat, or are you just using it as a desktop O/S? |

No server, just a desktop O/S.
It comes w/ Apache though, I do believe. It would only be the right thing to do. ;-) |
