I run it on my sarge (testing) box, after installing from the tarball
(haven't tried the rpm). The only problem I've seen is that the vmmon
and vmnet modules won't build against recent 2.6.x kernels. Fortunately,
you can download the fix from "ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware";...
look for vmware-any-any-update*.tar.gz. Both VMware and the update
installed for me painlessly, and it's been running quite smoothly.
