Linux works very well in virtual environments. Linux compared to Windows is
very efficient with resources, and therefore does not suffer nearly as badly
from the VM overhead.
That being said, I, personally am not a fan of VMware. For desktops,
especially with windows as the host, I like VirtualBox much better.
Eventually, swapping the host to client and client to host will give you
much better security and better performance.
Welcome to Linux and hope you found my comments useful.
