Need 64bit version of Linux VM

I'm looking to create a Linux VM but have been finding it difficult to find a site that will allow me to download RHEL5 64bit. I see sites that allow for CENTOS , Debian, Fedora...not certain if any of them have 64bit versions but even so, they aren't formally on the list of supported Linux Guests. Could they be installed anyway?

Really just about any flavor Linux should be fine -

Hi,

CentOS works pretty well.

It's supported in some versions and additionally it's binary compatible with RHEL that is supported in many versions too.

Definitely i recommend you using CentOS Smiley Happy
