Has anyone else tried NTeX at all? I have that installed here; I
chose it because it comes with more documentation than teTeX did. The
installer is Debian compatible; it even provides the right packages
for things that depend on them.
I'm a LaTeX newbie, so cannot make a very good judgement about which
distribution works better. The main thing I noticed was that NTeX
seemed to have a lot more documentation along with it than teTeX.
I've got Knuth's TeXbook in TeX now; that comes with NTeX, along with
some other books in markup form.
