[ale] Publisher for Linux

[Dow Hurst]

Lyx has come a long way.  If you haven't taken a look see in a while, 
might be worth a viewing.  Defining the formatting that guides the whole 
document does give you a long term peace of mind.  Documents you created 
many years ago will still print and view exactly the same way today.  No 
program changes will affect the viewing or layout of your work.  The 
converters from dvi to pdf or Word doc would still need to be part of 
the equation.  Most people have no experience with this type of long 
term quality for created work since word processors "seem" so easy to 
start using and are the "standard" way of creating documents now.  Lyx 
is a GUI frontend for LaTex, which is a frontend for Tex.  I would 
really love to have a talk on this DTP system.  Scientists have used 
this for years, especially physicists.  Would someone be interested in 
giving a talk on this?  I have a Open Mosix cluster to build or I would 
research it and do it myself.  Once I get the cluster built and running, 
I'd like to have it included in an ALE-NW meeting as a short HowTo session.
