+ndnSIM 2.x has been successfully compiled and used on following platforms:
 
-- Ubuntu Linux 12.04 (see the note)
 - Ubuntu Linux 14.04 (32- and 64-bit platform)

-.. note::
-    ndnSIM is currently cannot be compiled on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 with the packaged boost
-    libraries (there is an `issue with boost 1.48 and gcc 4.6
-    <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6153>`_).  It is still possible to compile ndnSIM
-    on this platform, but either compiler or boost libraries (or both) need to get upgraded.
-
-    More recent version of boost can be installed from "Boost C++ Libraries" team PPA::
-
-        sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
-        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
-        sudo apt-get update

-        # ./waf configure --boost-libs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
-
-    Make sure that all other version of boost libraries (``-dev`` packages) are removed,
-    otherwise compilation will fail.
