-LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing

-released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

-LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out
-of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger
-painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just
-write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine
-makes you look good.

+
+On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output
+-- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced --
+looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland
+.docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out
+unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the
+crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
+
+Please note that Lyx 1.5.x will not be available until Slackware ships with
+QT4, or until more Lyx frontends are released (at the moment, the only
+frontend is for QT 4).
+
+Thank you
