I can certainly get you a portable Linux box with LaTeX loaded.  It looks
like the next open speaker slot for the BLUG isn't until January though.

Our current speaker schedule looks like:

   October 14  - The Linux Professional Institute and Linux Certification,
                 Jonathan Corbet, Eklektix, Inc.
 
   November 11 - MySQL (Multi-User, Multi-Threaded SQL Database) 
                 Tony Cook
 
   December 9  - An introduction to ZOPE
                 Joe Van Andel, National Center for Atmospheric Research

So that would make you the first speaker in the new year.

   January 13  - LaTeX/Tex
                 David Lovering, NIST Information Technology Laboratory

Anyone want to talk about SGML or XML in February?
