Guys, I need to typeset a fairly important yet slightly mathematical document involving undirected graphs,
lines, circles, boxes as well as mathematical formulas and expressions involving summation etc. Totally new
to tex. Where should I start ? I think I have an old web2c implementation of tex on my RH 8.0 linux.
Will need lots of help and will be bothering you, till I learn the ropes. Is there a simple organized commands
list and documentation for tex ?

I think it's better if you use latex. There is plainty of tutorials on the web, e.g. "The not so short introduction to latex". Use kile and texlive.
