beamer does exist in Linux and in Debian is packaged as latex-beamer.
The package inserts the beamer.layout where lyx expects to see it, into
/usr/share/lyx/layouts/
Yesterday I compiled Lyx1.4.2 and installed into a different directory
(/usr/local/share/lyx1.4.2) and found I couldn't load the beamer document class.
The beamer.layout was not where lyx1.4.2 could find it, in this case
/usr/local/share/lyx1.4.2/layouts.
Although Tools > TeX information could see it, I still could not get a beamer
document class via Document > Settings > Document Class.
Checking the source tarball for beamer.layout, it was absent from the source
directory for layouts which is lyx1.4.2/lib/layouts.
I concluded beamer.layout does not come with the Lyx1.4.2 source, so I copied
beamer.layout to the new directory and after "reconfigure" it worked!
