John, Thanks for catching that. Here is a completed link.

Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)

There are other TeX distributions besides the Thomas Esser's teTeX distribution linked above but teTeX is the most standard and active of the free distributions and Esser continually answers questions through the teTeX listserv. teTeX may be installed a number of ways on a number of different systems but for Windows users, the Cygwin route is probably the easiest to maintain and to add related tools to without having to delve too deeply into the internals of the system. NB: don't try to install Cygwin over the Net unless you have a high-speed connection.

A membership in the TeX Users Group (TUG) will also get you the complete CTAN archive on CDs, the complete TeX Live distribution (easy install for Windows users) and a year's subscription to TUGboat, the journal of the TUG including the proceedings of the TUG Annual Meeting.
