MiKTeX-like system for Unix?

[graphic7]

I've become rather fond of MiKTeX's package management system. The last time I actually had to manually find a package on CTAN has been a long time ago, because of MiKTeX. Just wondering if anyone knows of a similar system for Unix systems?

I've just taken a look at TeXLive. It seems to be what I'm looking for. I'm on the road quite a bit I don't have access to an internet connection often, therefore, I need every package and piece of documentation whenever possible. MiKTeX contains this, but I'm curious to know if any TeXLive users exist here and if TeXLive contains what I need.
