## Does Vcpkg run on Linux/OSX?
No, for this preview we are focusing on Windows as a host platform. If you'd be interested in having Vcpkg run on Linux or OSX, please let us know in [this issue](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/57)!
Yes! We continously test on OSX and Ubuntu 16.04, however we know users have been successful with Arch, Fedora, and FreeBSD. If you have trouble with your favorite Linux distribution, let us know in an issue and we'd be happy to help!

## How do I use different versions of a library on one machine?
Within a single instance of Vcpkg (e.g. one set of `installed\`, `packages\`, `ports\` and so forth), you can only have one version of a library installed (otherwise, the headers would conflict with each other!). For those with experience with system-wide package managers, packages in Vcpkg correspond to the `X-dev` or `X-devel` packages.
