I love LyX, it is one of my favorite software and I've used it for more than a year now. But the version included in SuSE 7.0 is giving me some headache; sometimes it changes the layout between sessions, somtimes it even wipes out a couple of lines of text also in the beginnig of several paragraphs. This can be terribly frustrating and it's made me starting to look for another alternative, but I don't find any. Has anyone else been having these problems with LyX?

Togan,
LyX has many capabilities, and is fairly easy to use once you READ THE TUTORIAL. I'm not sure what DocBook DTD support actually means in the quote above. What most people want, or expect is that they will be able to type in their text, select the tags to indicate the 'meta-meaning' of the text, and then see the text displayed in a way that meaningfully represents that meta-meaning. IIRC, that is not exactly what happens with LyX.
SuSE Linux comes with extremely powerfull desktop publishing capabilities which are, unfortunately, also extremely hard to use. LyX is one of the best tools for utilizing these capabilities. I am glad you brought it up. I would very much like to see it grow. FWIW take a look at this ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/ . I find it interesting that LyX has such a prominant place in the file structure.
If anybody trys to use LyX and finds it very unintuitive then they probably did not READ THE TUTORIAL.
