I suppose that you mean VMware Workstation 7.1 / Player 3.1.
VMware officially supports their desktop products on RHEL 5.x, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu LTS.
If you're not using Ubuntu LTS then CentOS 5.x -which is binary compatible with RHEL 5.x- is more stable to run VMware's desktop products.
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'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.... :-)

See: http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html#policy_s...
There was a discussions about this issue in the CentOS mailing list so try to see the archives.
Good luck!

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 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.

There is also some unfixed security issues with 2.x.

VMware ESXi doesn't support the same hardware as CentOS does.
What do you meen? abandoned ?

VMware is a company, not a specific product.
One (CentOS) may be supprted, the other (Ubuntu) not.
