The org version shipped in the emacs package is quite ancient, and
many of the functionalities described all over the net are simply not
available on it. The org-mode package instead ships an
always-up-to-date version, that when installed it automatically takes
precedence over the version shipped in emacs.

Please note that you need to install texlive-latex-extra (listed in
Suggests) so you can preview LaTeX equations.

To enable contributed extensions to org-mode, simply add
"/usr/share/org-mode/lisp" to your load-path, for instance in your
.emacs with:

  (setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/org-mode/lisp" load-path))
