I would avoid Lyx in favour of Kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net) - it is not WYSIWYG, but it is much easier to see what LaTeX is doing. Lyx tends to hide all of this, so you don't really learn LaTeX, and I have had Lyx corrupt files too.
I agree with the Kile recommendation. Version 2.0 is just out and Packman has the requisite packages (there was period of several hours a day or so ago when the upgrade couldn't be completed 'cause the packaging was in flux and there were missing dependencies, but that has passed). And Lyx is (tries to be) WYSYWIG? For TeX / LaTeX? Isn't that oxymoronic?
