I saw a couple of instances of VMWare and RH9. 
Just wanted to mention a perfromance warning...  

RH9 did something to the kernel ( someone
mentioned this ) that really, really trashes performance 
of a linux RH9 guest. So... if you want to run a RH9 guest, 
you need to pass the nosysinfo setting to the kernel at 
boot time. With Grub just add nosysinfo to the startup 
line for your kernel image.
