We're having many debian installations (3.0 and 3.1) on esx too, some
have been running there for > two years. So far we've had no crashes. As
Ubuntu is gaining more and more market share I guess we will see support
for that before debian and they are closely related. Have not tried
Ubuntu in a vm yet though.

As a side note to this it's kind of strange that HP are running debian
servers internally while they officially support only Redhat and Suse on
their servers:

But it seems that you can pay to get some support on debian as well:

I don't know what CP did to the kernel sources, but it appears that if
you are able to get hold of them you can't just compile them as you
usually would do:

But if we can find the relevant headers it might be enough to get vmware
tools compiled and running:

Or maybe not. Google doesn't yell any useful results for "2.4.9-42" :(
