What's the newest version of linux for most of EDATools?

[edacw1]

The latest version of linux which can be fitable for most od EDA tools is...?

 

[dumeHCM]

RH7.3 still the most supported Linux for EDA

 

[aravind]

redhat 6.2(dc complier) new version requires installer,for cadence redhat 7.2, susi 9.1, mandar 8,9;
most eda tools r developing for only solaris, hp unix
see similar post is alreday posted here

 

[edacw1]

Can Suse 9.X be fitable for DC(design compiler)?

I've tried several mixed-mode EDA tools, such as IC5033, hspice, and ADVANCEMS, on RH 8 and they're working pretty well.

Someone says that most of EDA tools are working well on Suse 9.0 pro.

i run Cadence IC5.0 and hspice on Suse9.0 and i don't any problem ...in 2002-2003 i used Suse8.2 and IC5.0 works well...with fedora i have it a little problem when i try to install Cadence....
aravid has right...more eda tools are designed for unix or solaris ....to run a good tool on linux or windows we make a compromise...runs more slow...have many problems on install
i see cadence run on hp unix and on p4 in parallel ....on hp run a little more faster....this is the life ..i thanks God i can run all this software with minimal cost for me ...if i need to buy a hp workstation for i can run al this i will a lot

rh 7.2&7.3is the perfect platform to run most EDA tools.

 

[edacw1]

But rh 7.2&7.3 is too old to support the newest hardwares.

 

[hjankin]

as3 is the new platform for EDA tools.

 

[edacw1]

Is sun java desktop 2003 a good choice?

But rh 7.2&7.3 is too old to support the newest hardwares.

Not really

On the EDA tools official web site, RH7.3 is confirmed.
However, I think you could try Fedora Core 2. FC2 is most powerful.
