I did not have any problems either, and I do not recall any really
negative tetex-texlive transition experiences being reported on this
list so far. In some rare cases people have found that they had to
delete some file(s) in their ~/.texmf-var directory, but that's about
it. (Latex gave an error message which pointed out the problematic
file(s) if I remember correctly.)
