You can use VMware Workstation in trial mode, or VMware Server (that is free) for your labs.

Windows Vista is supported as a Host OS, and RHEL 5 is supported as a Guest OS.

What VMware product are you using?

What do you mean with "virtual NFS System"?

Virtual Network File Sharing ~~~~~~~~

Yes, its possible for you to run your virtual lab environment using VMware Server 2.0 for free or VMware Workstation 6.5 and these allows you to create multiple instances of Linux/Windows servers and setup networking capabilities for you to share resources across also you can deploy NFS within Windows server so you can mount NFS mounts or SMB whatever you prefer. You can deploy NFS on any Windows/Linux server of your choice and study from there.

Note: If you want to learn about ESX 3.5/4.0, you can still run that with your VISTA client using same VMware server 2.0 or VMware Workstation 6.5 and configure Openfiler to NFS/iSCSI shared storage to study as the lab. I'm not sure if this is your desires but optional as well.
