Hi,
I have googled, looked in the pragma site etc for a template (style)
of an a0 poster. Doing this with latex is a bit of a nightmare and the
result is not very appealing.
I am looking for something in the size of a0 with embedded boxes with
plots, equations etc. If such a file existed and was

As I presently don't know a thing about Linux, which distribution
do you recommend ?
Hello :)
Over the years, I've been using mainly FreeBSD. But recently I gave the
Ubuntu distribution a chance. It's a really nice, and easier to manage,
I had a poor experience with commercial design software on Windows (by
Serif, a company based out of the UK.) That pushed me to Linux.
I started with Debian woody and right away I had to fetch and compile
kernel modules from an Intel code base. I actually got Debian working
well under the 2.4
I have to say that for poster stuff where you have to control
visually the layout a GUI is not that bad.
So now I'm using ConTeXt for text-based projects (documents, books)
and Nodebox for visual related things (posters, presentations).
I am extremely happy using ConTeXt and TikZ/pgf

I'm torn between a TeX packaged distro and independent construction
either via TeX Live itself or DIY'ing it from CTAN. OTOH it's nice not
to have to build your own texmf tree; but it can be done and I've done
it by following the specs.
Concerning posters (at least that graphic category of posters):
If you have to move a graphic element by hand in search of fine
tuning (which is optical in design, helas, not computational) the
only way in batch-processing based sw is to re-compile, many and many
times.
Such a process can

If if you got it installed, you next will need a GUI for running
ConTeXt, and if some problem arises, you are further away from the

Sorry, you can't use TeX in a decent way if you can't use a shell (AKA
command line AKA Terminal AKA DOS box).
That's not true.

Installing mactex doesn't require you to use terminal.
It comes with TeXShop. Works out of the box. That was my first

There is your unified system. XML rulez - for better or for
worse. It's really no fun to write XML by hand.
But, as you said, TeX and Lilypond have a similar syntax. I belive
they could share some kind of common language.
What you are thinking about is probably a master document

Hi.
Packaging ruby: you only unzip it and set the path.
A stripped-down ruby: probably parsing (even if manually) ruby scripts
from ConTeXt to determine which packages are needed, and delete the
rest of the tree/ruby libraries :)
I'm sure that not the whole 70 MB of ruby are needed to run
