tex live ?

tetex это то. смотреть можно через gostview, dviview. можно перегонять в pdf и смотреть любой смотрелкой пдф. Ещё можно поставить что-нибудь вроде kile -- очень удобно.

недавно опрос на ЛОР был, кто чем пользуется для latex'a -- посмотри обязательно.

Кажется, сегодня лучше TeX Live. teTeX совсем плох стал с годами.
