i want release one question to the group, but i do not know how to do it.if somebody know how install Microstation connect edition in Linux (basically UBUNTU).Thanks for your help.
Hello Marcos, I have moved your post to the MicroStation community where someone can assist you. In general, you may want to take a look at the System Requirements/Readme to see the supported operating systems. I do not believe Linux is supported (without perhaps running Windows as a virtual machine in it) but someone from this forum can confirm.

As far as I know, the only platform on which MicroStation works is Windows.
A long time ago, MicroStation ran on a vast range of operating systems, including several flavours of UNIX (but that was before LINUX was born). See the History of MicroStation.

Yea, the good old days, ran on all sorts of OSs back in the day. Now only Windows is supported, so you're Ubuntu would need a Windows emulator at the very least. Hopefully someone who has tried it will chime in. I would love to run Microstation under Linux if for no other reason, security. But I use a whole lot of software, and most don't port to Linux.

thanks very much
We started with Microstation, partially because it supported our MacIntosh platform. Thankfully we mostly transitioned to Windows prior to Bentley dropping support for the other platforms. One of the issues is that Bentley now relies on a lot of Microsoft modules, so they can't make it run on any platform without the Microsoft software... Personally, I would say that they would be better to do their own programming (instead of using Microsoft's) and have the option of offering Microstation on a different platform.
