Ubuntu (see below). > B) I need it to work on VMware Workstation 5 Most do. > C) Do not Recommend Fedora ,Debian (the Original). Debian is clean and powerful but perhaps not suited well for complete novices. So I would recommend a Debian-based distribution like "Ubuntu" to you. It will not bother you with all the gears and give you a working desktop environment which - of course - includes Python. If you like KDE over Gnome (I do) you can use "Kubuntu". If you haven't heard of Gnome or KDE yet... just try Ubuntu.
