It is +currently developed on OS X and Linux. + +Note: Servo requires a bleeding-edge version of Rust. Sometimes this +means working off of the Rust _master_ branch; sometimes this means +the _incoming_ branch. Because Rust is still undergoing major changes +the Servo build is very often broken. Somebody in #servo or #rust +will usually know what magic is required to make Servo build on any +given day. Good luck! ### Prerequisites
