What are the main differences between teTeX and TeXLive ? Is TeXLive just
more uptodate ?
Basically: (much) more packages.
this is not really true. Compare the number
of packages for _one_ platform, e.g. for the teTeX one.
teTeX contains a selection of packages which are considered important by its
maintainer (but you can certainly always get the missing packages from ctan).
this is not a question of important or not, but a question of
the copyright. And not all packages have a correct copyright.
TeXLive contains all packages that are available on ctan.
TeX Live has the packages whithout restrictions in the
copyright. But not _all_ ... Only the CTAN disks, distributed
by DANTE, are a real snapshot.
So TeXLive is much bigger (unpacked, it does not even fit on a CD).
the next DVD contains also the proTeXt from the UNI Hagen,
which is important for beginenrs, installs a complete
Windows environment (MiKTeX,TeXniccenter)
It is not more uptodate in any case. That depends on which distribution is
more recent.
that's the point.
