I recommend either the Windows installer, if on windows, or the one  
called "version 3" with python if not on Windows. This is based on my  
trying to run several different versions in the past, and their  
assorted shortcomings.

If you can run the Windows version, that's really the best version so  
far. The python and perl programs are actually new programs written  
to read the same lesson files so that us folk not on Windows can use  
them too. Yes they're newer, but rather less friendly and a bit less  
featureful.

I can give you a more detailed comparison if anyone wants.
