If you are looking for stability in the host OS, fedora probably isn't 
the best choice.
First you'll have to track down a patch to even make vmware work, then 
you'll
have to reinstall the whole system when the fast fedora version cycle stops
providing updates.   I'd recommend RHEL or Centos, although they should be
getting close to time for a new release too.
