For stability reasons, I'm running CentOS 4 for VMware (it's the devil I know).
Are there any compelling reasons to upgrade to CentOS 5 for it? I'm relatively new to the whole virtualisation scene and perhaps there are some updated packages that might be good for VMware?
Seems to run fine on CentOS 5 as well.
CentOS 5 kernel lets you exclude some processes from consideration for "death" by the OOM killer which is kinda nice. :)
Of course there are plenty of other settings in the 4 kernel that help keep VMware safe from being accidentally killed.
