Tex Live Vs Latex
marsup
We have Latex installed in linux system. I have also heard
Tex Live from this group. Is Tex Live different from Latex,
if so what is all about Tex Live. Thanks for allowing me to post this.

With most modern linux distributions, what gets installed through the
packaging system is tex live, which includes binaries that allow one to
typeset tex, latex, etc, documents, as well as a large number of packages.

There are a few concepts to get right here.
LaTeX is a name, a format or even a programme.
TeX Live is a LaTeX (and friends) distribution, that is it include
latex, packages, fonts, programmes etc.
As a whole such a collection is called a distribution.
As mentioned most Linux' today use some version of TeX Live, tough sadly
some are using quite old versions of TeX Live.

Note that there's an entry in the UK TeX FAQ that expands upon Lars's
