Programming FPGAs with Quartus under Linux

Ok I had a 95108 cpld based board (xilinx) and host pc running webpack
ise 9.1. I had no problems programming the board (parallel jtag) onces
WinDriver was installed.

Now I have a Cyclone based board (altera) and host pc running quartus
10.0. I want to know if I will encounter any problems programming the
device under linux. This particular board uses a USB interface with the
controller on board - so I dont need a separate usb byteblaster.

So my question is basically
Has anyone had success programming fpga boards with quartus under linux?
Did you use the usb byteblaster or some such interface?
What did you do?

Thanks

You will need to make sure the path environment vairable is set up and
install the driver (subdir "drivers" within the install dir). best
read the documentation.

It works fine on Scientific Linux 5.5 and 6.0 (RHEL5.5 & 6.0).
