Looks like it didn't work. I have no idea > 2.) What the heck *is* TeX anyway, and are there applications that > call/use it regularly? Because I have never invoked it for any purpose. This I can answer. It's a typesetting system invented by Donald Knuth because he wanted something better than troff to write his on-going, multi volume saga "the Art of Computer Programming". The major application that uses TeX is LaTeX, which is basically a set of TeX macros that you can use to give a document logical markup. LaTeX needs TeX. If you don't use TeX, LaTeX, or LyX for anything then you probably don't need tetex.
