Thanh is too clever for me. First of all I read somewhere that we should all
be using pdfetex instead of pdftex. True?

Second I tried pdftex --version and pdfetex --version. Here are the results:

pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.3.1) 3.14159-pre-1.0-unofficial-20010704
kpathsea version 3.3.3.1

pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.3.3.1) 3.14159-0.14h-released-20010417-2.1
kpathsea version 3.3.3.1

JUst ot confuse matters texexec seems to mix these two:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-pre-1.0-unofficial-20010704-2.1 (Web2C 
7.3.3.1)

1. Are these current enough?

2. Assuming pdfetex is it, where is the best site for getting the best stable
version?
