TeX distribution on Windows

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be "based on MiKTeX", for Windows users. Since MikTeX could be used with R, that sounds like a good alternative. Any comments to that?
MikTeX works very well for us: - when writing reports using R figures, - with SWeave and - in the R package building process. You can get the web installer from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/miktex Miktex can be used with WinEDT, Emacs, Texniccenter and others as editor. HTH Thomas Petzoldt
