This is probably not the right forum to ask this question in, but maybe someone can point me to a better place.<br>
<br>
I just got the TeX Live 2011 DVD in the mail. For at least a decade now I have used one form or another of MikTeX for Windows. But I noticed something called ProTeXt (based on MikTeX) and various other things (ConTeXt) on the cover of the disk. I have no idea what all the variations are and which one is best for me. Where can I find these things out?<br>
