If you are installing on VMware then nothing to worry about. Just make sure you have good amount of RAM.

It will work on 1GB RAM but you can not enjoy it. Reason is that Vista itself need more than 1GB RAM to work smoothly. Though you can set VISTA to work in performance mode ie. without any fancy then I guess you can use can use ubuntu inside VMWARE .
