I am running VMware 3.2.0-2230 on RH8 without any degradation in speed. Of course I am running WinXP Home in it. It actually is running as fast if not faster than native winXP (Celeron 1.2G 256K SDRAM). The reserved memory is set at 214 MB. It just flat out flies. I have not had it run as fast under SuSE8.1. _No_ problems with RH8!
