Can you expand on that? Did they abandon VMWare Server altogether, or just version 2?
I'm still using version 1.08, and it works fine, except that Win XP SP3 won't Hibernate or Stand-by due to an incompatibility with one of the VMWare drivers. I was using the VMWare save machine state, but it turns out that shutdown and reboot is faster....
Let us know.... :-)

There was a discussions about this issue in the CentOS mailing list so try to see the archives.
Good luck!
