I can only find a vast, rather unordered list of documents in many
different directories with the 'new' texlive distribution in Debian lenny
(or etch).

Is there at least the command reference in the texlive distribution? If
so, where is it?

Texdoc and especially texdoctk.

With texdoctk, you get a little GUI of menus of documents that you can
peruse and click on and it will pop up the correct viewer.

I started with texlive so I don't know how this compares with tetex.

IIRC, the "command reference" is the not-so-small intro to Latex in pdf,
but I could be wrong.
