This took a bit less than what I expected, but…
And yes, it works. And this is running on Ubuntu.
And no, it isn’t ready.

Just gave it a try - Voron.Tryout indeed works, but the unit tests end in a segfault or a deadlock - I'll take a look at this if I find some time over the weekend.
e-tobi, Yes, there seems to be something that we missed there.
Now you're talking. Been waiting for this port.
As an aside, have you had a chance to look at Aerospike? Worth a peek at what they're up to...
I'm feeling uncomfortably excited. I've wanted to use RavenDB on personal projects, but I use Linux almost exclusively.
@J Healy: Aerospike says it's an in-memory database that can handle 100TB of data on just a few servers. The biggest server I can get has 256GB of RAM. Just storing the raw data would take 400 of them. Indexing it would take more. They're almost certainly lying about it being an in-memory database. I'd guess they have some good caching algorithms and efficient point queries but are ultimately serving out of durable storage.
Clearly once they get over the memory capacity of a box they go hybrid...
"You can run Aerospike in pure RAM with spinning disks for persistence or as a hybrid memory database with RAM and flash.
Indexes (primary and secondary) are always stored in DRAM for fast access and are never stored on Solid State Drives (SSDs) to ensure low wear.
Unlike other databases that use the linux file system that was built for rotational drives, Aerospike has implemented a log structured file system to access flash – raw blocks on SSDs – directly. Access is optimized for how flash works – with small block reads and large block writes – and parallelized across multiple SSDs for better throughput.
Per namespace storage configuration – each namespace can be configured to store data on DRAM or on SSDs."
