Dear All,
Just a note for Linux rookies like me who might want the latest version of LyX. Unfortunately the recent discussion on Linux distributions came just few days too late for me. I chose Fedora 8 (Gnome) for my laptop because Ubuntu setup program could not find its way around the chipset, Debian appears LARGE (4 DVDs! to have no worry) and no-one I know is on SuSe. Nevertheless, after compiling and installing the latest version of Qt4, the "from source" installation of LyX is a piece of cake. The only problem was that xdvi seems to be missing from the distribution, or at least not recognizable. Just installing it solves the problem. (The one I got has an interface from the good old days, but in the context of LyX does its job just fine). >From what I can see so far, LyX on Linux is clearly faster than LyX on Windows. The latter however is somehow better configured when using the alternative installer. Best regards, Milen
