Can someone provide me with clear, easy instructions on where to download La-Tex, and how? I have to ftp it somehow, but I cannot figure out where to get it or what to do.

My bud Lang is a latex freak. you should e-mail him at lang@coptix.com, seriously, he's nuts about it.

Also, look here:
http://del.icio.us/tag/latex
I imagine some of those links are quite useful.

Posted by: Craig at February 25, 2004 08:21 PMDownloading LaTeX. They recommend getting the full version of MiKteX.
I don't think you're going to run it on a Linux desktop (I installed it on a UNIX server many many moons ago in college) and I've never tried to put it on Win.
Posted by: daniel stoddart at February 25, 2004 08:39 PMHey Scott,
I just got LaTex all figured out (maybe a bit of a stretch) I will be glad to stop by and show you Friday. Just give me a time.

I love LaTeX. My favorite. Can't do math without it.
If you need some sample LaTeX source... I could send you a few of my awful drafts of papers that use LaTeX.
Posted by: Jonathan W at February 25, 2004 11:08 PMGreat Robi. Please stop by on Friday and help me get it in installed. Thanks everyone else for the suggestions.
