History

teTeX was maintained by Thomas Esser from 1994 until May, 2006 [http://www.tug.org/tetex/tetex-texmfdist/doc/ Guide to teTeX Documentation] (Retrieved January 31, 2007)] . According to Esser, the time taken to package each successive release took longer than the previous. [ [http://www.tug.org/interviews/interview-files/thomas-esser.html Thomas Esser - Interview - TeX Users Group] ] It has been superseded by TeX Live, a “comprehensive TeX system for most types of Unix, including GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, and also Windows” [http://www.tug.org/texlive/ TeX Live home page] (Retrieved January 31, 2007)] . The goals of the teTeX project were to be easy, use free software, be well-documented, avoiding bugs along the way.
