Not really. The biggest problem I've found is that if a new kernel comes out, you'll have to rebuild the VMware modules. Not a big problem for minor release as long as you've got the development tools on your system. If you like to be on the bleeding of kernels, then VMware is probably not for you. VMware did take a while to support RH 7.2 - typically the beta release are not supported but the production releases usually are. Another problem I found was with the device sharing. You can't share the same device between operating systems so you might have to do some juggling if you have some USB devices that you want supported on Linux and not on VMware or if you want to ensure that other plug-and-play devices are only accessible from one OS. Also, I don't believe that MIDI devices are supported (they weren't in 2.0 and I can't remember if they are in 3.0). I primarily bought VMware to run some Windows applications that just aren't there in Linux yet and it was working fine for that. I no longer have the system I originally bought VMware for and I don't need it for my server, so I'm willing to sell my copy of VMware 3.0. Contact me via e-mail if you're interested.
