Hello everyone,
I am working on vlsi projects in opencores. I have always been using windows, now i want to migrate to linux. Which is the best Linux distribution for using EDA tools? Does use of different shells make any difference at all?(i hope no!) thanks for your answers in advance... |

If you are new to linux and you look for a good easy start I think the "Fedora's Electronic Lab" is a good start for you. This way most available tools are ready to use after installation and you can start playing around with it.
Otherwise you would install any other distribution and then learn the names of the tools you could be interested in and then install them. http://spins.fedoraproject.org/fel/ |

Hi Praveenav, In my experience, most of the commercial EDA tools run on RHEL. if you don't want to pay, use the CentOS clone. Open source tools seem to work on all mainstream Linux distributions. That's partly because you build them from source, and the underlying system calls are pretty much the same. Bash is the default shell I believe on Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS. At least for Gnome desktops. HTH Jeremy
