LaTeX.  You can get the teTeX distribution for Linux fairly easily, it
should be a package in your Linux distribution.  If you don't want to
write LaTeX by hand (it's not that bad), then grab LyX, it's a decent
frontend.  Be warned; LyX is not your typical WYSIWYG word processor--it
operates like LaTeX: it enforces structured document preparation.  But
it comes with extensive documentation, written in LyX, which you can
render into beautiful looking PostScript files and read at your leisure.
