Mac OS X server on G4 powerBook

Can I run OS X server on my G4 power book. I looked on apple's website and it didn't specifically say if it does or does not. I'm just wondering because I'd like to learn it and I don't want to go out and buy another machine. I love UNIX and I love mac products. Its a beutifull combination.
