Subject: Which version is best for MSWindows users.?
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 08:41:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200502190841.45750.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
I am writing some e-books on free software. I am recommending TeX (of course)
and Context instead of LaTeX. The vast majority of my readers will be using
some flavor of MSWindows. Unfortunately there have been problems in
synchronizing Context releases and Miktex releases, in re. hyphenation and
fonts in general. I need to recommend a download package for readers who will
be newcomers to the world of TeX. Which is the safest pointer? I see Miktex
as a possibility but also the stripped versions of the TeX distribution
maintained on the Context site. So how would you start an absolute newbie to
e.g., Context and pdfetex? Where would you point them for their first
download?
