I'm not talking about VMware Server 2.x because VMware has abandoned it, although I use it on CentOS 5.5 with some workarounds.
Can you expand on that? Did they abandon VMWare Server altogether, or just version 2?
I think it is specific to RHEL/Centos. Server 2.x was broken by an update to RHEL 5.x and neither RHEL nor VMware have done anything to fix it. I don't think other supported distros were affected.
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.... :-)
I don't think anyone likes the web-based console in the 2.x series anyway. I'd either stick with the 1.x version or load ESXi on the hardware and move your current OS to a guest.
