I'm using Altera Quartus v6.1 under Debian Etch. Works nicely, including
the gui. No special problems with installation either. Have not tried
using any programming/jtag cables though.

Quartus seems to support 64 bit linux.

But yes, you have to pay for it, the free "web edition" is not available
for linux.

Best regards
