I'm running a project at the moment that requires me to install VMWare server on one of our spare servers.... and consolidate some of our older machines, that aren't so "critical"

I was just wondering if Ubuntu Server was a good OS to install VMWare server on? Is it possible to have Windows VM's hosted within this?

Yes and yes. :) Last I check, VMware is supported on Ubuntu. And you can run Windows on VMware.

Quasi-unrelated but I suggest you look at VMware ESXi before VMware Server; you'll find the performance to be orders of magnitude better.
