which is the favourite TeX distribution? I want to use TeX both under linux and windows. Is TeXlive my choice? MikTeX under windows and teTeX under linux are smaller and more up-to-date and easier to upgrade, but I have such problems with configuring they.
the tex user groups distribute tex-live, which is preconfigured for many os' s; updates fpr context can then be installed into a local texmf tree the basis for texlive is thomas essers tetex and fabrice popineaus fptex so if you are on lin or win you can use one of these when setting up your own system you can distinguish between the texmftree (tds compliant) and binaries [there's also miktex for windows, and there are quite some miktex users on this list] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
