As a very first step, I should probably set up the appropriate tools on my system. But already at this point, I have a little problem: I don't know what to actually install. First, I have seen /usr/ports/print/latex, which seemed to be just what I wanted. But then, I also noticed /usr/ports/print/teTeX, which in its pkg-descr claims to be "_the_ TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems". So, can somebody point out the difference between the latex and teTeX port for me? Is latex probably already included in the teTeX port (it claims to contain everything needed for happy texing). Or does it make sense to install both the latex and teTeX ports? Suggestions welcome!
