Im trying to install Fedora 16(64bit) as guest OS on my VMware ESXi 5 host… But when configuring new vm, in tab Guest Operating System there is no Fedora 16. I can choose between RedHat 6, CentOS and Other Linux, Other Linux 2.6.x …
What should I choose for best performance?

Fedora 16 isn't supported on ESXi but obviously it's a RH variant so logic would suggest choosing RHEL6-64bit. The only problem with that is that F16 has a v3.3 kernel, whereas RHEL6 is a 2.x kernel so you may have some problems adding in the vmtools, if you planned to do so. Ultimately though always try to use supported OSs.
