Thanks. Is CentOS 3.6 supported as a 'host' OS by
vmware ?  Cannot find in the following

Thx, Eddie

Eddie --

Well, you can't find any _other_ distribution on that page, either.  ;->

VMware 5.5 OS support is shown in the chart on
http://www.vmware.com/support/guestnotes/doc/ .  Notice that
RHEL-whatever are fully represented.  Thus, by implication, matching
CentOS releases are, too -- just not officially.  As an indicator, even
Oracle 9i RDBMS installs cleanly on CentOS.

If you insist on being able to call VMware technical support and tell
them (without lying) that you're running a "supported OS", you'll
obviously need to stick to what's on that chart.

Notice that Fedora Core is _not_ on that chart -- which is hardly
surprising.
