i would like too throw my 2 cents in here, i started with lyx as a gui
for latex, just installed the deb ( after wrestling with dselect ;) and
am very happy with lyx, there were some post deb install issues that i
had to fix, i am new to debian and dont want to track down the
maintainer, so i am posting my findings here
In order to export to dvi / ps / pdf from lyx, you must select
reconfigure from the edit menu and restart lyx
also, the permissions on a folder and a symlink need to be adjusted -
they are called ls-R and texmf - you will see the exact folders if you
do a :
lyx resume.lyx -e pdf 2>&1 | tee errorlog.txt
also xpdf is not going to handle "Type 3 fonts", use gv, it has always
been my pref anyway
onto becoming a LaTex master . . .
