run leopard server on my server?

Question

i was messing around with a xserve sever and fell in love with it. i just don't have the money to buy a 3,000 dollar server. so i was wondering, if you can run leopard server on my system, btw the system i am running currently is has a xenon processor (at least i think it is a xenon, i believe it has 3ghz processor speed) and with 4gb of memory and i a p4m80-m7 motherboard. and it is currently running freebsd

but ya i was just wondering cuz i know the normal versions of os x are not usable with out a mac machine, and i would love to be able to run os x on my server.

also i was thinking i might be able to get a used hard drive with leopard pre installed and be able to get away with just opening my server up and swapping the hds and running it from there, would that work?

plz don't answer unless you know what you are talking about.

thanks,
theo

Unfortunately, OS X Server doesn't allow itself to run on non-Apple hardware either — it's not just the client version of the OS. Even a copy pre-installed on a hard drive would still check if it's running on a bona fide Apple machine. There may or may not be a hacked version or two floating around out there (seriously, I'm not even sure) that'll run on other servers, but I imagine they'd have the same compatibility problems as the hacked Leopard client versions, plus they'd be just as illegal anyway. Sorry. :/

in case you advise server application for Mac OS X no. Mac OS X is Unix this is a sturdy networking device. homestead windows takes various reminiscence and a homestead windows-based device failed the London-based FTSE suffered a crash on Oct 10,2008. They ditched it for Linux final summer season.
