Setting up a LaTeX environment in Ubuntu (Feisty)

There are two base distributions for LaTeX authoring available in Ubuntu: TeTeX and TeX Live. The TeTeX project is not supported, so it is advised that we use TeX Live. I have also found that later has more packages available.

To install TeX Live, because I can afford the wasted space, I did:

sudo apt-get install 'texlive-*'

If I ever need more exotic packages, I will have a look on MiKTeX, which is the apt-get for the LaTeX world. Christian Schenk has a nice intruduction on how to use MiKTeX in Linux.
