[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Help for a tiny library?

[Rogan Hamby]

Hi Ben,

This was alluded to but to be clear, Evergreen isn't Windows software.
Evergreen was built to run on Linux and is commonly run on Debian though I
know it's used successfully on other distributions as well.  Honestly, as
much as I love to spread the love of Evergreen from what I can infer from
your post I don't think this would be the right direction for you.

Running a production system on a VM is dubious though possible but then
connecting clients, doing the configuration, etc... these are going to
require a big investment of time and energy on the part of staff.
