Hi Director. I'm new at Altera forums, so sorry for the delay.

Like you, I'm a Linux user (Debian User) and I have the same problem: I can't configure my bemicro in Linux. Like you had said, there's no support for this O.S. (I think that's a great error) and I use a Virtual machine (VirtualBox) with a Windows XP to download de .sof and .pof files into my bemico.

In case of VirtualBox (if you don't know it) you can configure any of the host machine directories as a network disk into the guest machine, so you can use Quartus for desing, implement and syntethize and later, in Windows with VirtualBox, open a new instance of Quartus, reopen your proyect and load the configuration. It's so tedious but it works fine.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english :-S

cheers
