Well, it'll work on all of the above, running any operating system.
I've always found it's easiest on Debian, but that's just my bias :-)

The specs you quote will be fine if you're planning to roll out on
the 3.0 codebase, but I wouldn't want to run 2.2 on those specs.
Without Zebra your searching will be pretty slow on 2.2 ... searching
is definitely the bottleneck to consider. But 3.0 will literally fly
something like a Mac Mini :-)
