Debian/testing finally updated to TeXLive 2009, I suppose Ubuntu will follow soon (or already did in some repository). Installing missing LaTeX styles or packages is relatively easy: * Install apt-file (via the package manager, e.g. aptitude). * Run `apt-file find the-style-I-need.sty`. (Replace "the-style-I-need.sty" with a search pattern matching your needs.) * Install the Debian/Ubuntu package providing this style via the package manager. As apt-file searches on a cached database, run `apt-file update` periodically. Günter
