Suggestions for a presentation (paper) type document that can handle complexity

[Uwe Ziegenhagen]

Hi Gordon,

what I would recommend:

a) Ignore the TeX Debian provides. It's update frequency and packaging are
AFAIK different from the TeX Live TUG provides.

b) Regarding the Tufte package: Check if it fulfills your requirements
especially with other packages you need. Friends of mine had used it and
were not really satisfied.
