What a badkuck!Jan 29, 2012

Hi,
I was so glad to know about this forthcoming training, but I felt so sad when I came to know that the Linex is not supporting which I use and I feel so good using Ubuntu 10.04
In this case what can I do? My skype id is: ahsanahsan720

Hi javedkhan87,

I am afraid that there is no other alternative. System requirements are the ones specified above. In the future, Linux Ubuntu 10.04 may be supported, but it is not now.

Hope this helps.

My bests,
Yana
