I have checked the UP3 , it has very small ram and it is not good for uClinux.

You should get a dev board with 16M+ sdram to run uClinux.

You can play only HAL on UP3. You don't need to build tools on Linux for HAL.

Download the latest quartusII v5.1 sp1, nios2 v5.1 and nios2 v5.1 sp1 patch from altera web site. And read the nios2 starting guide.
