Paradoxum on vmware homepage overview "Guest Operating System Support"

[JCCSysADM]

Hello out there,

can you guys help me by answering the following question:

What is the difference of the Guest Operating System Support RHEL 5 and RHEL (32/64)??

See this in the table of the following link:

http://www.vmware.com/technical-resources/advantages/guest-os.html

Furthermore there are analogies like Windows XP and Windows XP (32/64) ??

This is a paradoxum to me.    😃

Can anybody help me out with this, please?

btw: I want to run a RHEL 5 x86 (32 bit) as Guest Operating System on vSphere 5 and need to get supported in case of desaster.

Thanks alot & have a nice day!

That's indeed a very unclear table.

It is not the actual compatibility list, but a comparison with other hypervisors.

For the actual Guest OS Compatibilty list, check here:
