I relatively new to Linux and totally new to TeX and LateX. I downloaded Debian 1.1 and enough of the TeX an LateX-files to get LateX running on my computer. My problem is that the documentation supposes a fair degree of knowledge of the philosophy behind TeX and LateX.
As a tradisional Wordperfect user in a Dos-environment, I do not know where to start, how to create and view a document, how to print and I do not find anything in the Info-manual that could explain it to me except the reference to two books I should read about Latex. The documentation explains a of commands, but there is no introduction to Latex. Is there any introduction to LateX available somewhere? I do not want to buy a book (and they are quite expensive here) before knowing enough to decide whether I want to use the product seriously. Johann Spies
