If it is (was) OK for you, it's no problem, but in such cases (when you need an advice) you'll probably be left on your own if you want to keep using the old distribution. Latin Modern was last updated in November 2005 (I don't know if they're included in the last TeX live or not) and the latest ConTeXt is from February.

Under linux I often use this one (if nothing else, no special privileges are needed for installing it): http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip You just unpack it somewhere and then put something like /path-to-new-tex/ /path-to-new-tex/setuptex into the file which is executed each time the shell is started. See the instructions. If you're in the dir where setuptex resides, you have to say . setuptex then make the formats (only the first time) and start using it.
