My advice is that you are better off with a plain text editor for
cretaing the tex files and using a command line to compile
it. Lyx/Klyx is a pain in the neck. I have started to use it many
times and given up after a few sentences. One of the reasons I dislike
Word is that to type in an equation like a = b + c, I have to do a lot
click-click-type-click..... Lyx/Klyx seems to take us back there. It
definitely is not my cup of tea.
For starters, if your files are not too large try vim with syntax
highlighting turned on. If you do some heavy duty editing/creating,
then you are better off with emacs and auctex combo. Get hold of the
program chktex for catching some latex errors.
[OT] Has anyone used MikTeX (http://www.miktex.org) on windoze? If
only we could have had a tool like yap under linux :-(
