It should be possible, but it won't necessarily be easy. If you don't know how to compile software and possibly tweak code as necessary, I do not recommend you try it. I have tried getting Evergreen to work on a FreeBSD system (very similar to Mac OS X under the hood) and gave up after a couple of days of tweaking and almost getting it to work and having something else fail once I got something to work. It is much easier to get it going if you stick to GNU/Linux, particularly Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora. > > We currently have a PowerMac G4 which has the recommended amount of > RAM for Evergreen's server, but it is not capable of running emulation > software, such as VirtualBox, Parallels or VMware. A G4 is kind of slow, but for playing around with the server it may be adequate.
