[TriLUG] latex & thesis prep - what am i getting into?

[Len Boyle]

Hello Douglas
 
If you also use ms windows, you can use an opensource IDE for this.

Since it is opensource someone on the list could port it to Linux.

	hi all-
	
	i'm beginning to think about the preparation of my thesis (yay!), and i
	(must be crazy but) am considering using latex/bibtex in place of ms
	word/endnote.
	
	please, someone, either tell me:
	
	a) how much of a waste of time this may be, and to just do it in ms
	word, or ...
	b) congratulate me on trying to convince myself i'm up to the challenge
	in learning latex and point me towards some useful resources for
	preparing a thesis using latex/bibtex
	
	thanks!
	doug
