If your purpose is evaluating Unity, I'd suggest you try Unity for five hours in which you don't need LyX, or else load it on a different machine. If you're anything like me, you'll blow it right off the hard drive because it's nothing but frustration. Especially horrid is the menu structure, in which you have a few commonly used ones, and the rest all thrown into one bucket you need to rummage through. I found that almost everything I did in Unity took minutes instead of seconds or half-seconds. It was an attrocious time-sink. If you're anything like me, a simple evaluation without LyX will reveal that Unity isn't for you.
