The main advantage of LaTeX over TeX is that there is WAY more packages for common and less common tasks. So I wouldn't recommend TeX for a newbie nowadays. For the installation of a (La)TeX distribution, teTex, although it still works, is completely out of date. The instructions from the TeXLive site should be OK. If you are not sure, monitor what is installed to be able to get rid of it if it doesn't work. TeXLive now has a upgrade manager named tlmgr, which enables you to be up to date on evolving packages. It doesn't work now on Debian and Ubuntu, but I think it's a nice tool. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.
