vmware server 2.0.2 will not run on CentOS/RH version 6, you need to use version 5. I believe it is because of kernel data structure changes in 6 - maybe kvm support related but not certain. However, either CentOS/RH versions 5 or 6 are fine for the web front end and database servers. We have three physically separate servers and are running Oracle Linux 5 update 8 (same as Centos/RH 5.8) on our management node with VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138. The web front end and database machines are both running Red Hat 6.3. This configuration has been stable and closely mirrors the instructions on the cwiki site. Good luck.
