I have, until I upgraded my machine.  I was running VMware workstation 3
under FreeBSD 5.2.1 without incident, however when I upgraded my machine
to a P4-2.6G with HyperThreading, it stopped working because the linux
emulation can't cope with SMP.

If you are running a uniprocessor system it should work fine.

Good Luck

Cheers
