Of course, you have to take these considerations into account only if you will use LaTeX. I'm learning ConTeXt for a week after 3-4 of LaTeX practice and I have installed texlive2005 after some unexpected experiments with teTeX. Now, my fonts-related problem is solved so I will maybe retry ConTeXt with teTeX... In *my* opinion, teTeX is lightest because when you need a package, apt works well and if there is no deb package, you can easilly install it manually (a0poster, HAProsper, Thèse Loria...) I need a complete distrib of TeX with LaTeX support because I need it for publication purposes and I don't want to port all my doc to ConTeXt yet... If you need ConTeXt without LaTeX, the better solution is effectively to follow Hans's advice. With teTeX and TeXlive, fonts-related problem seem not (*are* not, to me,) trivial but the mailing list is a good start point... Another point, if you need a multi-OS distrib of (La)TeX => texlive is the solution since teTeX is only for linux. For internals, I don't know well diff between teTeX and TeXlive. Cordialement, If you need more advices or precisions (in french) you can contact me directly VnPenguin a écrit : >On 11/29/05, olivier Turlier <o.turlier@free.fr> wrote: > > >>Hi everybody, >>I'm going to install context on a linux box (ubuntu 5.10). >> >>1) I wish to hear texnicians (rather than aficionados) words on wich tex >>distro fit best for mainly context use, on fonts optimisation, for >>exemple, etc. >> >> > >teTeX is a good choice.

Lucida font is apparently more difficult to manage with teTeX Experience from other people ? Conclusion : apt-get remove tetex-* then reinstall texlive2005...
