1. Texlive is the most popular package for LaTeX in Linux.

2. When installing texlive in linux, you'd better install the full version to avoid missing packages. For example, in Debian you can do this using the following command.

   wajig instal texlive-full
   

# minimum LaTex
wajig install texlive texinfo
# Chinese support
wajig install texlive texinfo texlive-xetex texlive-lang-cjk 
# GUI
wajig install texstudio dvipng 
# full LaTex and GUI
wajig install texlive-full texstudio dvipng
