I want to run Quartus on my Debian computer. I see that Altera doesn't
officially support Debian. Has anyone here managed to run Quartus on
Debian? What was your experience?

My experience with EDA tools on Linux is :
use RedHat (or its free sibling Fedora).
This is the same syndrom as Windows :
all the companies have a "corporate" version
of Linux distributed (and sold, and supported)
by RH so everybody uses it...
I have Debian and Slackware but am quite limited :-(
For example, Xilinx does not work well on Slackware.
I'm now configuring a brand new netbook
with Fedora and I expect many things to work there.

good luck and keep us informed,
Altera is on my install list !

It requires RHEL, it doesn't run on Fedora, don't know if it will work on
Debian. I use a CentOS5.4 VM on top of Fedora 12, that works perfectly.

BTW Xilinx tools mostly work on Fedora. The only thing that doesn't work
is FPGA Editor which requires MOTIF, Fedora uses LESTIF which doesn't
work. I use the same CentOS VM for any Xilinx tool that won't run
directly on Fedora.

Well, I've run the Quartus beta in Debian 5.0 (Lenny). It seemed to
work just fine, but I only ran a couple of small example designs from
Altera.
