I think I might completely uninstall my current TeXlive (2011) and install
the newest one from CTAN, as you recommend. I also run into problems when
I want to run both ConTeXt and plain TeX or LaTeX: I was using TeX on some
old files yesterday, and because my path was set up to reference the
/opt/context tree before the /usr/share/texmf tree, TeX kept giving errors.
So I needed to fiddle with my path first. (One day I'll convert my TeX
files to ConTeXt, but that requires more time than I have right now.)
Thanks, everybody!

Actually, maybe my version is a bit old: context --version returns 2011.05.18 18:04. I'll try to update it. (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, but when I tried to update using apt-get the system told me that I had the latest version). In the meantime I'll try your alternative.
Thanks!
Most of the software in the repository is a few to several revisions behind. The texlive package, for example, is from 2009 :(
Best to install the standalone or install texlive yourself using the installer from CTAN. I have both on my 12.04 system though I mostly use the standalone version.
