I've been using LaTeX on windows for about 12 months (MiKTeX and WinShell), but now I've got an old laptop up with Puppy-Lucid (Linux) and I would like to use LaTeX on this.
Can anyone please point me to some resources to help be choose and install suitable software to make this possible
NB: I'm a real newbie on Linux and have to have my hand held a lot.
Thanks

Or, install the newest TeX Live, this is what I did.
