I have run the Xilinx ISE tools under both Ubuntu and Gentoo
successfully for several years.
As mentioned above, the cable drivers are going to give you more
trouble than anything else.
I have had no luck in getting the cable drivers to work with a 64-bit
kernel. You also might want to pay attention to Xilinx's supported
kernel version information with regard to these cable drivers, it may
save you some sleep.
Also, the JTAG version of the programming cable has given me nothing
but trouble, I'd avoid it if you have the choice.
