Summary: The TeX text formatting system.
TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes
a text file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a
typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as output.
Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting
package like LaTeX or PlainTeX, since TeX by itself is not very
user-friendly.

Install tetex if you want to use the TeX text formatting system.

LaTeX is a front end for the TeX text formatting system. Easier to
use than TeX, LaTeX is essentially a set of TeX macros which provide
convenient, predefined document formats for users.

Xdvi allows you to preview the TeX text formatting system's output
.dvi files on an X Window System.

Dvips converts .dvi files produced by the TeX text formatting system
(or by another processor like GFtoDVI) to PostScript(TM) format.
Normally the PostScript file is sent directly to your printer.

Dvilj and dvilj's siblings (included in this package) will convert TeX
text formatting system output .dvi files to HP PCL (HP Printer Control
Language) commands. Using dvilj, you can print TeX files to HP
LaserJet+ and fully compatible printers.

Tetex-afm provides afm2tfm, a converter for PostScript font metric
files. PostScript fonts are accompanied by .afm font metric files
which describe the characteristics of each font. To use PostScript
fonts with TeX, TeX needs .tfm files that contain similar information.
Afm2tfm will convert .afm files to .tfm files.

The tetex-fonts package contains fonts used by both the Xdvi previewer and
the TeX text formatting system.

The tetex-doc package contains documentation for the TeX text
formatting system.

Texinfo is a documentation system that can produce both online
information and printed output from a single source file.  The GNU
Project uses the Texinfo file format for most of its documentation.

Install texinfo if you want a documentation system for producing both
online and print documentation from the same source file and/or if you
are going to write documentation for the GNU Project.

The GNU project uses the texinfo file format for much of its
documentation. The info package provides a standalone TTY-based
browser program for viewing texinfo files.

You should install info, because GNU's texinfo documentation is a
valuable source of information about the software on your system.
