Miktex equivalent for 12.04 (open for more suggestions)

Question

I was using MikTeX in Windows 7. Now that I have changed to Ubuntu 12.04, I was looking for a equivalent replacement for it.

I tried MikTeX for Debian systems but the following error came:

dpkg: error processing /home/venom/Download/miktex-tools-2.8_beta_2-1-i386-linux.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/home/venom/Download/miktex-tools-2.8_beta_2-1-i386-linux.deb`

Instead ok miktex that's oriented to windows, you could try Tex Live:

Open terminal and add TeX Live backports ppa via this command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa

Update the source:

sudo apt-get update

Now install tex live 2012 with this command:

sudo apt-get install texlive

There's also some good information you could read on our forum:
