Maybe I have to change my OS from Debian to Solaris, on an Intelx86 machine, and so I would like to know if anyone has been using ConTeXt in that environment, or, if there is any reason to expect that it might or might not work. I noticed in the teTeX download page: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/search/tetex.html that pre-compiled binaries are available for Solaris running on Sparc computers, but it doesn't say anything about x86 machines. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated - non-programmer, end-user writing. By the way, my occupation is architect (buildings) and I use ConTeXt for all kinds of document preparation - office work, correspondence, presentations, etc. I recently received a reply to a proposal which I submitted, which included the following: > Thanks, I'll be back in touch. > Robin > PS most beautiful proposal ever! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Maybe the enthusiasm is a bit exaggerated, but, to the extent that there is truth in the sentiment, credit is largely due to ConTeXt, ConTeXt's author, and to the many on this list who have helped out over the years.
