Hi all,
I'm happy to see Xilinx is releasing their WebPack for Linux, and with a couple of minor tweaks, it actually works on everyday versions of Linux like Debian.
Problem is, its missing the simulation and verfication tools shipped with the Windows version. I'm namely thinking about ModelSim, and the version that is downloadable from the Xilinx WebPack homepage - what are people doing on Linux for (Free) simulation and verification?
Cheers
Tim

As far as I know there are no plans to release a ModelSim XE starter for Linux. Most folks use command line simulators and GTKwave.
Icarus Verilog is the most popular Verilog sim.
GHDL is probably the most popular VHDL sim.
GPL-Cver is also good from what I hear (Verilog).
Of course if you have money to burn, commercial sims will give you better performance and (arguably) a better UI than GTKwave, but I'm guessing you're not looking for commercial so the above should do the trick.
Good luck, Arlen
Symphony EDA is very good, and runs under Linux as well as Windows.
