tetex – Ob­so­lete TeX dis­tri­bu­tion for Unix/Linux

tε-TeX was a com­pre­hen­sive dis­tri­bu­tion of TeX, LaTeX and fam­ily, de­signed for ease of com­pi­la­tion, in­stal­la­tion and cus­tomi­sa­tion.
In 2006, Thomas Esser an­nounced he would no longer be able to sup­port, or to pro­duce new ver­sions of, tε-TeX. With the ap­pear­ance of TeX live 2007 (whose Unix-sys­tem TeX sup­port orig­i­nally de­rived from tε-TeX), no-one should be us­ing tε-TeX at all, in new ap­pli­ca­tions.
One of the “schemes” avail­able when in­stalling TeX live pro­vides a con­fig­u­ra­tion very close to that of the old tε-TeX, but us­ing mod­ern ver­sions of pro­grams and pack­ages.
