Free VHDL simulator

[Chaos Master]

Hello people.

I want to learn VHDL but I can't spend money on software.
Is there any free program to simulate VHDL code?
A Linux version would also be great.

I've had the best luck with GHDL:

http://ghdl.free.fr/

Do you want to learn VHDL, or do you want to learn HDL-based hardware
design? If the later, I would recommend Confluence. As a functional
programming language, Confluence designs typically result in 3-5X
fewer lines of code than VHDL. The CF compiler returns HDL and a
cycle accuarte C model -- compile with GCC and you've got yourself a
high-performance logic simulator.

BTW, Confluence is GPL.

I will take a look on those all suggestions. Many thanks!
