What would be the best version of ConTeXt to recommend to a friend who writes novels on a PC running Windows? The person has no programming skills. He would probably require some assistance installing Tex-Live or whatever and would need a stable version because he couldn't manage frequent updates. Problems would far outweigh additional features for him.
TeX Live 2010 should work fine. Mojca I don't expect there will be much ConTeXt activity from our Dutch friends today due to the big game, but I will risk a question anyway.
From which site should Americans download Tex Live 2010? Minimals only?
The Wiki suggests that command-line and GUI installers can be downloaded from there and that either a stable or beta version can be selected from either of the installers. Is this the recommended method for non-technical types to get Tex Live? I assume that the beta version is the latest 2010 version, bugs and all, and that the stable version is the one suggested by Mojca and is close to the one that Taco says will go physical in September. Will anything else, such as Ruby, be required? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
