AFAIKT from the VMware site, VMware supports specific versions of 
distros/kernels. It is ambiguous, at least to me, to say they support 
64bit when they say they support  i.e. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 - 
stock 2.4.19, 64-bit. Suse includes the ia32-libs so does this mean 
VMware will run on a pure64 OS or only one with the appropriate 32 bit 
libraries loaded.
