Quartus Web Edition on Linux - no simulation?

I just installed Quartus II Web Edition 9.1 on linux. I compiled a simple
test project and only then I noticed that simulation is unsupported! It's
supported on the Windows version, so how come this discrepancy? Are we
supposed to dump each and every edit onto the board and debug on the
board? They might as well not offer the Web Edition on linux at all.

Use the modelsim-Altera starter for small designs:
https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/eda_software/modelsim/dnl-msim-65b-qii91.jsp

It is free and covers
Windows XP, Vista (32 bit)
RedHat Linux Enterprise 4 and 5 (32 bit)
SUSE Linux Enterprise 9.0 (32 bit)
