Well, if you can afford the EDA tools (and if you are getting support, then you probably paid for them), then I think you can afford REL ;) But that said, I think that you will not have problems on other platforms with most tools. I run all kinds of EDA tools on Fedora 7 without problems. Well, ok, I will have to admit I have not gotten Impact to work yet, even with Michael's Windriver replacement. And Aldec at least does not care that I am using F7 when I need support.
