boo2pdf Update

I did some minor updates to boo2pdf. Graphics should now be within the page margins.  Please let me know if there are any other common formatting mistakes.

Unfortunately, IBM’s “transmogrifier” utility doesn’t work very well in Wine, so you should preprocess older books in Windows before running them through the boo2pdf web service (download is on that page).

Source code is now available from boo2pdf gitweb.

    Hey Kevin!

    Wow, you made me reconsider my last choice of moving to Debian instead of Gentoo. All you told me seems attractive enough for me.

    I think I shall have those 2 days to install and settle the Gentoo on my laptop (where I want to use it).. I hope I won’t get into much trouble when installing and configuring hardware drivers. I don’t know what is the support for hardware that Gentoo gives.

    If you say that the community behind is quite big..

    Then I shall update (again) my post to say “I’ve decided again to move to Gentoo” lol

    Thank you!

    Greetings.

    Hi again Kevin,

    I’m doubting about using Archlinux or Gentoo.. i can’t decide..
    As you told me, you have used both of them, which would you recommend me to try first? Archlinux or Gentoo?
    Maybe I should try both of them, but I don’t have so many time to spend on this.

    Thanks!

    Greetings
