Mind you, whilst on the following page (p26) it says that unsupported Linux hosts may or may not work, it points out that new kernels are not supported until they're tested by VMWare, and after saying "VMware makes every effort to add support for new kernels and distributions in a timely manner" it lists the supported host versions of Ubuntu as all versions 6.06 through 8.04, so their "timely manner" has got them as up to date as April 2008 so far.....

Maybe I can't trust the docs? It doesn't give me huge confidence I have to say! It looks like VMWare Server has stagnated given that the current version (2.0.2) was released over a year ago, which is obviously a shame.
