LaTeX is a great tool. If you use Lyx as a front-end it is a little like WYSIWYG. Another approach ist to get the commercial Office-Suite ApplixWare for Linux which runs well under the Linux-(ELF)Emulation of 2.2Gamma. ApplixWare is a word-processor, spreadsheet, presentation-graphics and mail front-end.
