On linux, the LaTeX packages are installed by means of the specific package manager of the distribution, e.g. synaptic (Ubuntu) or yast (openSuse). Also you can install individual packages manually in the tex local tree. The texlive package manager (tlmgr) is not available, it seems that Linux distributions don't include tlmgr because they don't want to ship two package managers. To use tlmgr, you must install texlive manually. Regards Ignacio
