Get started with Latex on Linux [closed]

Impressed by is-latex-worth-learning-today, and many how-to’s on Windows,

How do you have someone started with LaTeX on Linux?

How do you generate a pdf out of it and give up the OOO Word processer?

Update:

Thanks to all the suggestions given in here. I was able to create an awesome ppt using the Beamer class: http://github.com/becomingGuru/gids-django-ppt. I found this approach too far better than using powerpoint and the like.

Those interested may checkout the TEX file, with many custom commands and the corresponding presentation.
