Can I run XGrid on a PC with Windows or Linux?

No, XGrid can only work for now on a PowerPC or Intel Mac running OS X.3.9 or higher. A Linux version of the agent has been developed by Daniel Cote (link here), as well as a Java version that can run on Linux and Windows, developed by Curtis Campbell (link here), but please do not use these for this project. The agent will be able to receive the jobs but unable to run the attached executable, because the executable needs Mac OS X libraries (Cocoa) and will thus fail to run under Linux, even on a mac. In the future, we may be able to compile a Linux version of the program, but it is not a priority at present.
