If you've worked with PM back then, you'll probably have no problem with 
scribus.

There also is another bar, I suppose, when you have to have the cards printed 
with offset printers.  Again, scribus is the solution.  OOo is nice for the 
occasional home office cards though, that you can print on those pre-cut card 
sheets - but that's not the professional way.

Scribus is multi-platform.  Should be no problem for you when you run Linux 
(just make sure that you have properly working fonts as scribus can be quite 
picky about incomplete font sets which sometimes are to be found in 
free/shareware fonts).

Not funny I'd say - but that'd lead off-topic ;-)
