    Is there a way of using a Debian system as a RIP.

    I have a client that has just been quoted by Xerox £11500 for a Fiery EX12
    Raster Image Processor

    the system is only a PIII-500 with 256MB RAM and a 9GB HDD so I am thinking
    of putting together a nice hefty system and use Debian instead.

    Apparently the rip just takes a PDF file then converts it to a Post Script
    file and sends it to the printer. Surely there is something on Linux to do
    this.

    Any help or advice/experiences appreciated.
