How do I get off this list?  I ahve made multiple requests.  I only wanted to donate some microscopes and such to the group, not be on the chatter..

+1 
I'd be interested in this too, haven't done anything with FPGAs in a few years but would be interesting for some things that are hard to do on an arduino/avr. Also happy to help if anyone is learning HDL, I use verilog and VCS all the time at work.

I have.  It's only a little weird, as most proprietary software running on Linux tends to be.  I guess notably there's a settings script that you need to run before invoking any of their tools that creates and modifies some environment variables.  I use my own wrapper script that adds a few of my own variables (mostly for licensing), calls their scripts and invokes the Xilinx tools using a subshell that keeps my main shell clean.  The good news is that the installer is actually fairly respectful leaving most of the rest of your system alone and functionality-wise, it seems to work as well as ISE does on other platforms. 





Quartus does the same thing. It has its own lib directory with its own binary versions of standard libraries, which is a bit annoying because when it tries to spawn processes (like a web browser to read the documentation) they inherit the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and will sometimes explode because libstdc++ is compiled with the wrong version of gcc
