Maybe, but I wouldn't even try to run it on something lower than 10.6. I
haven't tried to run it on anything lower than 10.7 in a couple of years
but I would say 10.6 is the absolute minimum requirements.
I think we should considering making the requirement 10.7 or later, at
some point. Because in 10.7 Apple implemented native TLS. This is also
the minimum requirement for LDC.
I'm running a OS X 10.7 on Macbook from 2006, it's working perfectly
fine. Although the whole computer it's quite slow, it only has 2 GB of RAM.
As for running on a PC in a virtual machine, it's quite cumbersome to
do, but it's doable.
