Google not helping and always just been a latex guy but what is the relationship between TeXLive and Latex .. Live just a TeTeX replacement so I can safely ignore it?
latex is a typesetting system. It is not a latex distribution in itself. So you cant really download and run "latex" as such. You need a distribution: A distribution is the latex compilers and a "texmf tree" (or 2 or 3). TeTeX was a very good distribution, but now Thomas Esser (the main TeTeX guy), has abandoned TeTeX and joined the TeXLive team. You can see his discontinuation message here: http://www.tug.org/tetex/ TeXLive makes a new release every year. The texmf tree is kept up to date. Yes, you can use TeTeX, but you will be using older compilers and texmf. Also texlive has the new xetex system which has a the new opentype font engine. All of my TeTeX documents build just great in TeXLive. Does this answer your question? -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett/
