Re: [NTG-context] Which packages?
... OK, thanks to all for the answers.
I'll keep on trying.

A lot of ConTeXt experts do not know what LaTeX packages do. You'll
usually get a faster response by describing the desired functionality
rather than option name from LaTeX.
It would seem like the option you need is there, but it doesn't seem
to work. There are some examples is ConTeXt source:
\setuptyping[file][numbering=file]
\starttext
\typefile[start=2,nlines=3]{zapf}
\typefile[start=3,step=2]{zapf}
\stoptext
But they neither work properly in mkii nor in mkiv (a different bug in each).
and pdfpages (\includepdf} + pages=...
LaTeX packages; what's the equivalent for them in ConTeXt?
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document
Is there a place where to study module/package
similarities/equivalences?
Apart for the page mentioned by Wolfgang, probably not. Usually people
ask on the list if some functonality is missing. Many packages are not
needed since the same functionality is offered by ConTeXt core.
Some external modules offer very special functionality (like lilypond,
gnuplot, vim, games, r ...), some offer simplified approach to methods
that are otherwise doable with more effort (simplefonts, simpleslides,
...), some offer support for non-standard fonts, ...

[NTG-context] Which packages?
Hello, I'm new to ConTeXt; I've been working with LaTeX but I'd like to try ConTeXt due to some reasons. The question is - - is there a manual, web site or something where comparison of LaTeX/ConTeXt packages/modules would be done? I'm interested how to include a part of a text file and how to insert some pages of another .pdf file. Normally I was using the fancyvrb (\VerbatimInput) + option firstline=... and lastline=... respectively and pdfpages (\includepdf} + pages=... LaTeX packages; what's the equivalent for them in ConTeXt? Is there a place where to study module/package similarities/equivalences? Thank you in advance.

I'm interested how to include a part of a text file and how to insert
verbatim? not that hard to support that (you're the first one to ask)
next beta will have this (a 10 minute extension)
% label:start:one
\def\MyMacro
{just an example}
% label:stop:one
\starttext
% \typefile[file][lines={3,6}]{whatever.tex}
% \typefile[file][lines={3,+2}]{whatever.tex}
\typefile[file][lines={label:start:one,label:stop:one}]{whatever.tex}
\stoptext
some pages of another .pdf file.
\externalfigure[yourfile][page=123]
