Re: So, Which Version is Suitable for Beginners
I have found my novice Linux users take to SUSE (either Gnome or KDE) readily. Probably because the devfs interfaces to the windows interface readily. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There is a new gratis VMWare player at http://www.vmware.com/download/player/ You can download an image http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/browserapp.html that they call a Browser Appliance, but if I remember correctly it is Ubuntu. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I installed Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 5 just a few days ago. Works nicely. There's one small problem: when installing the VMware tools in Ubuntu, the install program says it doesn't have any precompiled modules for the running kernel. It's not much of a problem since the installer can compile the modules itself; you just need to install the necessary packages in order for it being able to do so (best install them before running the VMware tools install scripts). The packages you need are: linux-headers-2.6.12-9-386 gcc-3.4 make Then either set the environment variable CC to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 or wait until the vmware tools installer asks for the location of the compiler and enter /usr/bin/gcc-3.4. For the other questions it asks you can just use the default IIRC. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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.
