+Before beginning this tutorial, you will need a TeX distribution, a good text
+editor, DVI or PDF viewer. Also make sure to have a Linux Distribution as
+Operating System on your computer & a working internet connection for 
+installing LaTeX over internet.
+
+.. L4
+
+{{{Show the slide 'TeX Distribution'}}}
+
+.. R4
+
+TeX Live is an easy way to get up and running with the TeX document production 
+system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors
+of Unix, including GNU/Linux, and also Windows.
+
+.. L5
+
+{{{Show the slide 'Installation'}}}
+
+.. R5
+
+There are multiple ways of installation. You may download a LaTeX distribution
+and run the installer.
+An other way is to install using the command: 'sudo apt-get install texlive'
+for a subset Latex functionality or 'sudo apt-get install texlive-full' to 
+install Tex Live with all the functionalities (a complete distribution).
+
+.. L6
+
+{{{Show the slide 'Installation..'}}}
+
+.. R6
+
+We may also install LaTeX using a package manager like 'Synaptic Package
+Manager in Ubuntu'.
+Using 'Synaptic Package Manager': Open the 'Package Manager' > Search for
+'texlive-full' > Mark for installation and apply.
+
+
+.. L7
+
+{{{Show the slide 'LaTeX Plug-in'}}}
+
+.. R7
+
+We may use a Text editor (as per your choice) as LaTeX editor.
+However, we require a plug-in to do this.
+We would like to illustrate the same using Gedit.
+Install the plug-in: 'sudo apt-get install gedit-latex-plugin'.
+To activate the plug-in: Click (Edit > Preferences > Plugins >
+Check LaTeX Plugin).
+
+.. L8
+
+{{{Show the slide 'LaTeX Packages'}}}
+

+
+Add-on features for LaTeX are known as packages. Dozens of these are
+pre-installed with LaTeX and can be used in your documents immediately. 
+Listed here are a few popular ones and their usage.
+Latex-beamer package is used to create presentations.
+TexPower package is used to create dynamic presentation online.
+Prosper is a Latex class which helps writing transparencies and high quality
+presentations.
