Not quite what you asked for, but I am running VMWare on Debian testing / unstable and am running Redhat 7.2 in one of the VM sessions. Why? Some of the non-free software (DB2 etc) on linux comes with rpm installs and alien didnt quite do the trick. I've got a dual Pentium-II 400MHz system with 256 Mb of RAM and with 128 MB allocated to the VM session, with KDE and DB2 loaded, the VM started to swap. I didnt observe any response times problems though. Which means all my problems could be fixed with more memory. One niggling limitation though : the VMWare version that I am using (3.0.0 build 1455) has a max of 204MB that can be allocated to a VM session. If you need more than that for a VM session, you are SOL. Regards, Jor-el
