I ran VMWare 2.x for about a year and a half as my work Win32 desktop.
I've played briely with VMware 3.x.

Certainly 2.x was very stable for Win98 and Win2K, and I ran into few
issues. I would say that 3.x's mouse handling is _vastly_ improved over
2.x, which was my biggest complaint with VMware. Laggy mouse response and
not picking up/dropping the mouse for true X-style focus was an annoyance
in 2.x, but that seems to have all but disappeared in 3.x, it's much
snappier. 

The suspend/resume stuff works very well, I found no problems with it, and
it was a useful feature for speeding up the time it took to get Win up and
usable each morning. 

This was all under Debian, but I'd be supprised if the same wasn't true
for RedHat.
