I'm torn between a TeX packaged "distro" and independent construction either via TeX Live itself or DIY'ing it from CTAN. OTOH it's nice not to have to build your own texmf tree; but it can be done and I've done it by following the specs. Then again, if you are not LaTeXing things, you might not need it. It gives one, however, a certain air of self-gratification to master mktexlsr and have kpsewhich find stuff.

I use Debian. Context seems to be well supported, with recent packages (thanks to Norbert Preining I believe). Ubuntu should be fine too (it is a debian derivative) and perhaps more polished for a new user. [...] -- John Devereux
