VMWare server on Fedora 6 (FC6)
I have got this info from a spanish site

So the thanks to Christian González G.
You need to be root at first.
Then run this
#yum update
#yum install kernel-devel xinetd gcc
now go to ntsysv and make sure that xinetd will start each time you start the server, and start it now.
#/etc/init.d/xinetd start
Now get the VMware from here
#wget [url from the site]
Register yourself and get the serial (It is free)
#tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz
Now you need to do this.
#touch /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/linux/linux.h
It could be needed also to perform this operation.
#cp /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/config/i2o/config.h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686/include/linux/
Be sure to replace 2.6.8.18-1.2849.fc6-i686 with your kernel version.
Now go to the vmware direcotory and execute the install script.
#cd vmware-server-distrib
#./vmware-install.pl
Should be enough.
