Now that I have seen a note about TeXShop, maybe a note about editors (TextMate) or link to page with editors and viewers (Skim) would be in place as well (at least a list of them). > and added a hint > to the minimal distribution - that page goes under the bad name of > "Linux_User_Installation". I guess we should rename that. True, Linux_User_Installation should be more general since it works with any "unix". I have alse created a page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals, but that one needs to be improved (too much junk on it - wiki pages need to be short and clear, else nobody reads them). Hans has not updated his distribution since August (which means that there are still old binaries ond fonts) and we're working on improving the new minimals at the moment. The good side of it is that it uses rsync, and updates semi-automatically (binaries need to be rebuilt manually, and many parts need to be improved), the bad side of it is that if garden goes down, there is no backup server yet to fetch the binaries from (and if the disk stops working, I will need quite some time to get all the parts together again), and the structure might still change a bit. But the basic idea and the structure once the files are downloaded are similar (we started building the minimals based more-or-less on the same set of files as there are in Hans's minimals).
