Oh, no worries, I do use teTeX quite a bit (my boxes at work are Linux
and Tru64, so I'm quite used to latex;bibtex;latex;latex).  My main
reason for the MikTeX bits is two-fold.  One, it'll teach me a bit more
about routers/gateways/etc. that I don't know much about now.  Two,
Windows has WinEdt, far and away the best IDE for LaTeX I've ever used. 
I love WinEdt and will probably use it for my thesis because it handles
large projects and .bib's much better than anything on Linux that I know
of.

As for Emacs...well, I'm on the other side of the holy war from you.  I
have myself a nice syntax file for LaTeX in VIM that I use.  I do do my
BibTeX stuff in XEmacs, though.  It's the best tool I know of right now
(pybliographic used to handle my bib's on Linux...but the recode/python
fun broke it).

Thanks, though.

moot to use it)
