FAQ

Q1 : Can I install any other linux based distro instead of Ubuntu 16.04 ?

Ans : No, because we have encountered and solved most challenges around Ubuntu 16.04. Newer OSes have package incompatibility issues which we dont want to waste time solving.

Q2 : I am having X problem while installing Ubuntu ... what should I do ?

Ans : Google your issues/problems once you will definitely find the solution. Try your best possible shot and still if do not find the solution, Then and only then post it in Issue with all the solutions that you tried so far.

Q3 : I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on VM but it is very slow... what should I do ?

Ans : This maybe due to low number of Cores, low RAM or low Storage. We recommend

Alteast 4 cores for the VM
Atleast 4 GB of RAM
Atleast 40 GB of storage space

for a good experience with VM.

Q4 : Can I do the Skilling program on Windows? and not use Linux

Ans : The skilling program is designed with the assumption that you will have Ubuntu 16.04 installed (atleast on VM) so there will be assignments that will require Ubuntu 16.04, we dont recommend doing the skilling program on Windows.

Q5 : I am not getting access to the main repository to push my changes, what should I do ?

Ans :

Fork the project.
Cloned the forked project (not the original project).
