Thanks for all the replies! One more quick question, would I need to twick the installation script to get Quartus installed in Ubuntu? I think the Niosforum referred to it, however, I did not quite understand what they were talking about.
I am somewhat of a Linux newbie... I am only moving to Linux because I heard that Nios runs faster on it and also Windows has not been kind to me.
I understand that fixed-pc license is only available for Windows. Is there anyway that I can get a temporary license if I am running it on Linux? I have been running the web edition before. Seeing how Linux is gaining popularity (even Dell has agreed to put Linux on its systems) does Altera have any plan to provide similar trial licenses for Linux user?
