I've seen a NTeX version comming with SlackWare one year ago.
Hmm, lots of fonts, lots of documentation but useless in my opinion.
(I never had the feeling to write like the Klingons and why should
I read the documentation for that stuff.)
By the way SlackWare switched to TeTeX, too. I think that's a sign
if such a distribution does a change. This shouldn't be a flame
against NTeX, but I know many users of TeTeX and NO user of NTeX.
If you miss any documentation try a CTAN-mirror for instance
ftp.dante.de
There is nothing important in the world of TeX which you would not find there.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
