Hi Eric, I can comment on the windows side.. I always get that error about class book not found, but it shouldn't matter if you don't want to export from lyx into pdf or html. I only use the doze version of lyx while traveling, and it's quite ok. The main box is a dapper with emc2 configured to build documentation. The rest is magic ;)
