Trying to head off a bad-rap-in-the-making...

I haven't had any problems in years with the teTeX that comes with (Red
Hat) Linux. Of course, it doesn't have all the macros one needs, but
that's to be expected: the last TeXLive distro came on 3 CDs!

I use twenty or so packages, PSTricks, Seminar, several Adobe Type 1
fonts, etc. The only thing I did was rebuild `initex' to have larger
default values for memory.

I'm also using a stock teTeX distribution to for my DocBook print
(currently with DSSSL). Again, it's worked flawlessly.

So, what problems have you had, other than those due to not reading the
documentation or to operator error?
