It has been listed on this list that VMware does not have support for kernels configured for 64 G of memory and this has been confirmed by VMware. Loading on workstation works fine.
Some people enjoy maintaining, updating, changing and basically creating their own distro of Linux. IMHO, once the product is changed in ways not recommended by the distributor, you now have a version all of your own and the distributor should no longer be held responsible. Microsoft certainly will not support their products once the user loads non-Microsoft software that change shared DLL and such. Fifteen years ago came with a language and compiler so the computer center could write the applications for the company. I have known programmers that have modified the OSs on mainframes. They also became responsible for the result, not IBM. As you said, " It works fine as long as you do not play with the software" . I do not believe most people are interested in playing with their software, most just want it to work without fail.
