I have to bring up TeX/LaTeX for a System V UNIX system, with PostScript
printers. So, we *should* have the same problem :-) .

Is there a version in Europe? (Sorry, I'm not on the Internet).

Me too. Does it include the same things as the UUNET stuff?

The U. Washington distribution does (I only have a more general overview).

In the U. Washington distribution is a (I don't know which) driver for
PostScript printers, if I understand the mailing correctly.

Please let anyone having "the total overview" of TeX distributions
post it. And be clear about languages and needed compilers!
It will help a lot of people, I think.
