TeX Collection by TUG and DANTE

The TeX Collection contains four TeX products on a single DVD.

proTeXt

proTeXt is a TeX distribution for Microsoft Windows. It provides an easy installation even for less experienced users. The distribution is based on Christian Schenk's MiKTeX as the TeX system and TeXStudio (formerly known as TeXMakerX) as the included editor.

Installation is done through a standard Setup.exe in the DVD's protext directory to install and uninstall the proTeXt components. The manual is available in PDF, currently in English and German.

TeX Live

TeX Live is a complete TeX system for GNU/Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows.

The TeX Live system is located in directory texlive. Please change to this directory and run the script install-tl in this directory to start Unix installation or the batch script texlive/install-tl.bat for Windows.

Further information regarding TeX Live is available in texlive/readme-html.dir/readme.en.html. For translations to other languages refer to texlive/index.html.
