And use linux. Well Hans, the lead developer uses windows ;-) and from the messages I see on this list the linux people tend to run into more installation/format problems :-D

And I suspect these two facts are related.. :)

well, luatex/mkiv runs happily on our linux servers; my development machine runs vista, and taco's runs linux and we happily generatet multiple new formats per day ...

I am only teasing. I love context, and have been using it for years now on linux. But I only get to use it intermittently, and only rarely get involved with the installation itself...

the main ingredients for a working set up are: TEXMF, TEXMFCNF and sometimes TEXMFCACHE (keep in mind that traditional tex distribiutions can have hard coded paths and assumptions)

...so I forget the mechanics of how tex is configured and how it finds everything. Thanks, -- John Devereux
