OK, since you're having so much trouble, I'll try to explain a few
things:
1. Your trouble with Ubuntu: you copied the command as is from the
document INSTALL in tetex:
gzip -dc
tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist;
tar xvf -)
In the tetex document, the \ was just there because the line was
continued, it wasn't meant to be retyped by you in the middle of the
line. Rewrite the command without it, and you'll be fine. Please
don't put anything along the lines you tried into the wiki, Ubuntu is
working fine here, that was just a user error.
2. .bash_profile is read by login shells only, so if you set your
$PATH there, you have to either log out and then back in or run the
command
source .bash_profile
3. I have a dim memory that the way auctex is set up on Ubuntu, it
calls sh and doesn't take your current path into account. This is
easy to fix: in emacs, type
M-x customize-variable RET TeX-command-list
In the buffer that opens, scroll down till you see the variable for
ConTeXt, which is set to texexec --pdf --nonstop --texutil %t
instead of texexec, give the full path: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-
linux-gnu/tetex
and you should be fine.
Most of what you're experiencing are not real ConTeXt problems, but
general shell/path/auctex problems. If they are to appear in the Wiki
(I'm not sure they should), this should be in a section of its own.
They're definitely not special or restricted to Ubuntu.

Hi everybody,
I still have pbs for this (begin to be) hard to achieve task (compared
of unziping mswincontext.zip on a :\C drive...)
1) I can't succed in adding executables to the path, with my various
tryies, here is my .bash_profile :
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
export
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/
i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/
bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/
games
2) emacs+ auctex nor scite (installed before : maybe a reinstall ?)
are
not context aware, so I can only texexec via the terminal
2) is texmfstart working on linux ?
PS : when everything will be fine, (tetex3 install, same .pdf results
between mswincontext and tetex3, scite linux integration (hard to
change
editor now), i'll add this to ubuntu wiki section
TIA, olivier
