What is the most recent version of VMware known to work on 6.x in host mode so as to be able to run windoze as a guest? Anyone tried 5.5 on 6.x yet? .. or the time-limited beta (expires ~July) of VMware server (free! at http://www.vmware.com/products/server)?

I've been looking at porting the 5.5 vmmon module, but haven't had time yet to start. All I really need is the ability to run an existing vmware image.
