teTeX (stylised as teTeX) was a TeX distribution for Unix-like systems. As of May 2006, teTeX is no longer actively maintained and its former maintainer Thomas Esser recommended TeX Live as the replacement.[1] During installation of TexLive it's possible to choose scheme that would include teTeX packages.
The teTeX package is available as a package for system architectures:[2]
Other supported operating systems include:
- OpenBSD and FreeBSD (on x86 architectures)
- IBM AIX on (RS/6000)
- HP-UX (on HPPA)
- Microsoft Windows (on 32-bit systems)
- BeOS (for Intel x86)
History
[edit]Thomas Esser maintained teTeX from 1994 until May, 2006.[3] According to Esser, the time taken to package each successive release took longer than the previous.[4] It has been superseded by TeX Live, a “comprehensive TeX system for most types of Unix, including Linux and Mac OS X, and also Windows”.[5] The goals of the teTeX project were to be easy, use free software, be well-documented, avoiding bugs along the way.
