I am using Centos-5.4 (AKA Redhat-5.4).  I install it fine, but as it's installing all of a sudden the VM powers off.  I looked in the log and it says something about an unexpected signal 6.  I did some googling but didn't come up with anything much.  

The new web interface to the VMs is great, I just wish it would work.

I also tried VirtualBox.  It seemed to work fine, but I'm not thrilled with having to have an X window open to run the VM.  I was planning to run the server semi-headless and let the family access it via the VMWare remote client (we use VMWare 1 at work).  Thought it would be nice to let the kids be able to create their own machines to break.  One of them is studying for a MCSA, so it would be nice to have disposable systems.

I have it in production on afew Ubuntu servers x64 (8.04 and 9.04
mostly I think).  No major problems, just a lot of performance
tweaking to get the VMs running well.  No stability issues though.

What kind of problems are you seeing?
