From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It might be possible, but you can be sure that Apple made it as inconvenient as they technically could. They try their best to lock everyone in. You're probably better off getting some kind of Apple box to manage those machines.
Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. I can technically get an Apple box, but my boss might be a little upset with me for losing that functionality on my PC, and might want me to revert to Windows.
Simplest solution might just be to dual-boot Windows if you can't get a VM working
