teTeX (stylised as {{Stylized LaTeX|5}}) was a TeX distribution for Unix-like systems. As of May 2006, teTeX is no longer actively maintained and its former maintainer Thomas Esser recommended TeX Live as the replacement.[http://www.tug.org/tetex/ teTeX Home Page] (Retrieved January 31, 2007) During installation of TexLive it's possible to choose scheme that would include teTeX packages.
The teTeX package is available as a package for system architectures:[http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-40001.2 The TeX Live Guide]
Other supported operating systems include:
- OpenBSD and FreeBSD (on x86 architectures)
- IBM AIX on (RS/6000)
- HP-UX (on HPPA)
- Microsoft Windows (on 32-bit systems)
- BeOS (for Intel x86)

History
Thomas Esser maintained teTeX from 1994 until May, 2006.
[http://www.tug.org/tetex/tetex-texmfdist/doc/ Guide to teTeX Documentation] (Retrieved January 31, 2007) According to Esser, the time taken to package each successive release took longer than the previous.[http://www.tug.org/interviews/interview-files/thomas-esser.html Thomas Esser - Interview - TeX Users Group] It has been superseded by TeX Live, a “comprehensive TeX system for most types of Unix, including Linux and Mac OS X, and also Windows”.[http://www.tug.org/texlive/ TeX Live home page] (Retrieved January 31, 2007) The goals of the teTeX project were to be easy, use free software, be well-documented, avoiding bugs along the way.
