We have zenoss 0.22.2 running under Ubuntu dapper server on vmware 1.0.1
on a win 2000 server. As mentioned elsewhere, overhead is pretty low -
but still need at least 380MB ram allocated to the vmware session. See
this for full ubuntu install instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zenoss
Only issues for vmware under win2000 was the auto-startup feature (on
win2000 boot up) did not work - the VMauth service was giving problems
to the VMreg service. Solution was found here:

Re: VMware Registration Service will not start on boot
Posted: Jul 11, 2006 12:35 PM in response to: wguynes
I have confirmed VMware Registration Service failure and VMware
Authorization Service hung on starting issue.
Windows 2000 SP4 was configured with IIS and run on Intel P4 system
(single CPU).
It seems that VMware Authorization service starts too early amongst
other services on that OS platform. It retries and eventually succeeds
(after about 2.5 minutes of "starting") but that comes too late for
VMware Registration Service. It also delays startup of other services on
that host.
I have adjusted this startup order by injecting additional dependency
into VMware Authorization service. Now it depends not only on "vmx86"
driver but also on "wmi" service. This combination works for me and my
VMs start automatically on host boot.
Please run this registry hack to see if it fixes your system:
