There are timing issues in vmware; basically you can only wind the clock up to 8192hz under Linux host os and 1024hz under Windows which can make millisecond timing flakey. I had trouble getting festival working under vmware workstation 5.5, perhaps I was doing something wrong. We intend to try this sort of config for a course we are teaching. I have tried installing fedora core 7 onto a vm; however the system crashes whilst "loading udev..." and won't boot further. Debian etch had strange probems in vmware workstation 6, I intend to retry that and also workstation 5.5.
