Get emTeX, a TeX/LaTeX 3.0. It has a beautiful VGA previewer with resolution
of 800x600 and even 1024x768. It does anti-aliasing, so at 800x600 you
can display a full page and still make out what is says. Printer drivers
are available for most dot-matrix, LaserJet, DeskJet.

It's free and it comes from Germany, but most docs have been translated to
English.

Get Freemacs. It's very close to GNU and has modes for TeX, bibTeX, C, etc.
