Go ahead and take the plunge. You will not regret it. In fact, for dissertations/theses/anything else, contrary to poular belief, LaTeX is the way to go. A gui based wordprocessor (whether it is Word or OO), though easy in the beginning, will not help you in the long run. > I did some reading up on it; it's interesting.

I would suggest you go through the tutorials that TUGIndia has written.
Please visit http://www.tug.org.in They are a bunch of pdf's with fancy transitions, menu buttons, etc. They were all done with LaTeX. Presentations can be prepared on a console even. Of course, you need X to check out the actual results. IIRC, there was a console dviviewer, dvisvga, or something. I am not sure whether it is still available.
