Package manager

[Ehud Kaplan]

I realize that this is not a specific Lyx question, but someone here 
might know the answer.
My main problem in running Lyx (or Latex) on Linux is the lack of a nice 
package manager like Miktex is on Windows.
I heard that TexLive has a package manager, but I have not been able to 
find it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
