You have a point there. It's just that I was anticipating 1.6 so much
and didn't get a chance to use it, yet.
1.6 rocks, if I do say so myself.
And 1.6.1 is available in intrepid-backports:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/lyx.
Ah, that is interesting. I didn't know about backports before. Thanks
for that hint! I'll try it out.
I think the backports stuff is more or less inherited from Debian.
Debian, anyway, doesn't do major version upgrades but only what's
required for security and stability---bug fixes. The backports
repository gives you the option of upgrading.
