Cathy, Evergreen (the server side) runs on Linux. The client software runs on Windows 7 just fine. Not sure if the server side is of concern to you. You can, of course, contract with a vendor to host the server (which might be a good idea for you anyway).
FYI, you may also want to look at Koha (koha-community.org). It also runs on Linux (server side) but there is no client software. It is 100% browser based.
