i know that. i have such a system ... with a tl2012 installation on a /local directory. we're told that U12.10 will ship with tl2012, but fedora's tempting. (unfortunately i don't trust my creaking old brain to look after a system that's no longer supported by the department -- it's centos or ubuntu here or you're on your own. centos has frozen a similarly ancient version of tl.) robin the grumpy tex user under linux
