LaTeX is a document formatting software, which is often better suited for technical documents than other word processing software.
Instead of having a large, manipulative company hiding all the details of the content of your paper behind thier propietary code;
you control the content and then use LaTeX to format it.
I may be a bit bitter, but because I've had too many documents in the that prevalent format get corrupted so that I lost the ability to edit them once they got too large or complicated.
It has literally been years since I've installed LaTeX on my laptop, so I may not have it just right.
You're better off doing Google searches than treating this advice as authoritarian.
These are also geared to Windows; installing it on Ubuntu was too easy that I don't remember it. I think I just had to pick a program from the package repository.
Step 1: Install MiKTeX, this contains the formatting instructions for LaTeX, maybe...
Step 2: Install GhostScript, this might be the program that handles ps and pdf conversions...
Step 3: Install a front end editor. This is not necessary, but highly recommended. Remember, you have no idea what your doing and these programs are to make you life easier.
Learning LaTeX and getting it to do what you want to is going to be hard enough; don't make your life worse. I use WinEdt (not WinEdit).
I know it isn't the best, but it works for me (& I'm not sure there is a best).
You can use it as long as you want without paying. But it isn't free, just cheap.
It should save you time learning LaTeX commands to make up for it's cost.
My first guide to go to for LaTeX help: The not so short introduction to LaTeX, aka lshort.pdf
The two I actively use are the TI Launchpad and the Arudino.
