hello, i've just found this page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/arc-process/PTLtestbed/PTL very interesting, even there is a warning: This webpage is experimental - its content should not be relied upon.
A simple remark: 4874 tetex Complete TeX distribution for UNIX 12/15/2008 - snv_105 tetex isn't maintained anymore since 2006. Why not choose TexLive instead? Is there a list/forum to discuss on these foss projects? gerard
