This leaves *nix. Now that tetex is dead, most distributions are switching to TL. Is there an alternative way of using ConTeXt which will work out of the box---something equivalent to the stand-alone distribution for Windows. If there is, then we can just ask a *nix user to use that alternative.
there are minimals for linux, but often integration in unix involves a bit more (depends on how one uses unix, things like permissions and such) here i use the windows minimals for projects where authors need an editor as well (scite); the linux minimals are used on the servers where we run many tree's in parallel; i think that for most linux users it's fint to use the debian packages; just as on the mac the i-installer does a good job of keeping up; by now, the debian packages are pretty complete and have all things needed (norbert is handling that: preining@logic.at); afaik they also support engine subpath now which is a good thing Hans
