Howard,

someone was nice enough to post this on the ORACLE-L today:

1. There is a new 4.5 version of VMWare Workstation (dated 15 Mar 2004) that now additionally supports:
2. RH Enterprise 3.0 as a Guest OS
3. Support for SuSE LINUX 9.0 as a Guest OS
4. Updated LINUX support for 2.6 kernels, and some advanced features in RH 9 as a Guest OS.
5. Support for Netware 6.5 as a Guest OS.

The complete Guest OS info can be viewed at: http://www.vmware.com/support/guestnotes/doc/index.html

RedHat 9 is listed, Fedora is not.

hth.
