I have some VMware-server 1.x versions running under Centos5.4 - and have
Centos
5.4 running as a guest. I haven't had much trouble with it other than
vmware-config.pl having to recompile the kernel module after every update.

Have to agree with that - ESXi is better, but then you have to run everything
on
the guests. Where I'm running Server the host also runs some apps.

VMware Player might also be a reasonable choice if you are running things
locally and always want the console attached to the session.
