It's my understanding that CentOS is a carbon copy of Red Hat - with the exception of the art work. Assuming that this is true, the support matrix for VMware Server 2.0.1 states Red Hat 5.1. I cannot seem to locate a CentOS 5.1 x86-64 copy. I can get a copy of 5.3 and 5.4. If I take this route, what should I expect running VMware 2.0.1?
my experience with VMWare Server 2.0.x on x86_64 platforms is abysmal. its totally unstable and unusable, on both Linux (RHEL 5.x) and Windows Vista 64bit, even if you are just running 32bit VMs.
I don't like the change to a web based console in the 2.x series so I'm still mostly using 1.x versions (and I've had some things running under Centos 3.x/VMware 1.x for years with no issues). But, I hadn't seen any real problems with the 2.0.1 version before the glibc change in the 5.4 upgrade. What kind of trouble did you have?
