If you have some instructions on installing Xilinx tools under Ubuntu 
then please feel free to post them here.  If you are willing, I would 
also be happy to add it to our existing page

http://developer.petalogix.com/wiki/Other/XilinxOnLinux

with an appropriate acknowledgment of course.  If you want to host it 
yourself, I can just add a link - whichever you prefer.

Our reasoning for recommending CentOS is simply that it clones RHEL, 
which is Xilinx's officially supported Linux distro.  It has been our 
experience that this minimises pain in using Xilinx tools under Linux.

However a side effect of this is the fact that we inherit RHEL's "deep 
freeze" philosophy regarding kernel and software package versions, among 
other things.  Some RHEL packages are ancient - if it's critical you can 
just remove them with Yum, then download/build a more recent version and 
install it into /usr/local.


Cheers,

John
