It is not natively supported. You would be better off using OpenOffice or IBM Lotus Symphony.
just go to http://www.winehq.org and download and install wine. that will help you run not only MS office 2010, but any windows application on linux. don’t forget to download the right version.
Just use OpenOffice.
Microsoft does not make a version of Office for Linux. No version of Office will run directly on Linux.
However there are many emulators that allow you to run Windows programs inside of the emulator. They will run slow, but they will work.
A better solution would be to got with OpenOffice, which is a Linux based clone of MS Office. Is able to open, read, edit and create all the file formats used by Office 2010, and files made with it and saved in MS Office format are identical to files made with the real MS Office.
Get it free at http://openoffice.org
It won’t run under wine either.
Try lotus symphony
I do not think so. Office 2010 is only compatible with Windows NT platform and Mac OS X, you may be able to emulate it on Linux, but I am not sure how you could do that. You can get open office for Linux OS
