Too late;). Though I generally agree. And for LaTeX: Ubuntu packages are usually quite old. I usually (once a year) install TeXlive from an installation dvd (I receive it by mail each year as a users' group member;)). And once a year is way too rarely for ConTeXt (another TeX-based document preparation system, with many things /much/ better than LaTeX), which is updated more or less once a month or so. > John Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
