Re: [dev-context] engine setting in context/texexec

personally i think that linux users can best install debian packages and leave tex live for what it is;

I agree 100%. I use the Debian packages plus latest pdftex (with the engine symlink hack), latest metapost, and (give or take a day or two) the latest ConTeXt. Inspired by how easy life became using the packages (versus hacking around in the tetex configuration murk), I rewrote all the Linux installation manpages on the wiki. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.'
