I have played with fedora /red-hat, opensuse/suse, debian, ubuntu, slackware . All goods, actually I'm using ubuntu. Maybe fedora/opensuse with kde can be confortable for you . BTW, I don't use tex from these distro, I always put all files under /opt/luatex , compiling when necessary ; it's in a someway distro-independent. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
