But this is exactly what I wondered about: what percentage of end users are you doing this work for? I imagine that almost everone nowadays uses some sort of distribution; even Windows (Cygwin) and MacOS X (fink) users do that. Only a hard core unix user would be compiling tetex just for herself, and she would probably enjoy fixing all the dependencies :-) > Which duplication of efforts?
