You should definatly try vmware beta 5. I have sucessfully installed and
run it on debian amd64. Allthough the binary is 32 bit, it does not need
a chroot (ia32-libs is enough), and can execute x86-64 machine code
(which IIRC vmware 4.x cannot - vmware 4.x can run on amd64, but not
handle amd64 instructions from within the virtual machine).
