kerTeX, a TeX kernel, now available for Debian amd64 too

[mvatten]

There are various reasons why one may want to have a lightweight alternative to Texlive.

kerTeX is a small and fast TeX kernel for POSIX.2 systems that
includes TeX, METAFONT, dvips, BibTeX, e-TeX, CWEB,
and MetaPost. The C version used is C89.

The developer is Thierry Laronde.

kerTeX is now available for Debian amd64 too:

This software is not in the Debian repositories,

Debian users should all ways be carefull before using software from random websites.

From: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
On Debian installing software from random websites is a bad habit.

I am not saying the software that "mvatten ' is trying to promote is good or bad, on that
I really don't know.
But it is important that especially new Debian users be aware of the risks and problems that software from random websites can cause.
