Making Altera Quartus work natively on Ubuntu Linux:

(there are some USB permission issues with this; I need to sort out a
Udev rule for the USB Blaster)
The same for Xilinx ISE12.1:

(no issues here, this "just plain works")
Both of these assume you're using Ubuntu 10.04; 9.10 and 9.04 should be
near identical, same goes for any recent version of Debian (would that
be Sid? I don't follow Debian release tags very closely).
Comments and criticism on these tutorials are always welcome :)

Xilinx has a
freely-downloadable
toolchain (WebPACK) that works very well. It even has "real" Linux
support nowadays.
Excellent. For me, Linux development support is 100% essential. I'm
not likely to bother to get started if I have to set up a new
environment just to play with toys (I'm already set for Arduino and
Makerbot hacking from my CentOS laptop).
