The problem with VMWare Server is that it is a discontinued product for longer time and they don't provide us with a suitable replacement.
Do you need something that the 1.x series won't do? If something works and serves your purpose it doesn't matter if it is discontinued or not.
So our institute had to switch to VMWare workstation that can be run as a server, too. I'm running CentOS 5.5 as the Host OS and 5.5 and RHEL6beta as guests. We didn't try out RHEL6 (waiting for CentOS6 :-)
The other option is to run ESXi and move anything you were running on the host to a guest. You'll get better performance that way but you need to run the converter tool on some other machine to get the images copied in.
