Choosing Linux platform for FPGA SW

[FPGAworld]

I'm trying to figure out which Linux platform is the suitable for FPGA SW. Most of the vendors supports RH but how about the others?

I have tried Fedora C2 with ModelSim and Synplify. ModelSim was no problem but Synplify needed some help to start.

What are your experiences. Which is the preffered platform.

As far as I know Xilinx 6.3 has some problem with Fedora C2. I run it on Redhat AS 3.0 without problem.

Modelsim beacause its nature(!) is better run in linux. You can use make files, tcl scripts easier.
For synthesis tools, you should notice that an operating system with more stability and better memory management is more suitible. So I prefer linux for synthesis too!
