Ah, so you did not mean to ask whether you could use it as an
operating system for a workstation?
Either way, I believe that the more important question is, is it
compatible with the particular hardware that you want to use?
I believe that, so far, it is still not compatible with the hardware
that comprises this workstation, with the only non-(MS Windows)
operating system that I have found to be compatible with the hardware
that comprises this workstation, being Ubuntu Linux, from about 12.04
onward.
