You can also download the lyx-1.1.6-pre3 rpm and convert it to a Debian
package via alien. Worked smoothly here.

Use LyX 1.1.6.

That all depends on your taste. In LyX 1.1.6, you can configure almost
everything via dialogues within the program.
On Debian, I recommend to additionally install the following software (which
is not part of the distribution):
- tth, a LaTeX-to-HTML converter (non-free software, free only for private
use)
- FoilTeX if you create foils/slides.

Generally, LaTeX and LyX are great tools for structured documents. They're
also pretty good for snail mail letters. But they are definitely less
suitable as visual layout software (if you speak of posters).
