Generic for Japanese-patched TeX-alikes.  I haven't checked recently,
but at one point both NTT jTeX and ASCII pTeX failed TRIP and so
couldn't legally be called TeX (not that that stopped anyone :( ).  I
haven't used NTT jTeX in 10 years, I think.  I've been using pTeX and
pLaTeX since then.  But they have their problems, especially with
mixed Japanese/foreign text.

You can probably get RPMs, I know you can get .debs, from the distros.

I've never used CJK-TeX much, but it seems pretty good.  It's just a
little distracting (and scares my colleagues, who all use p[La]TeX).
