If you use the free web edition https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/altera_design/quartus_we/dnl-quartus_we.jsp on a modern fast PC (less that 2 years old) and with at least 2 GB of ram you should be fine for learning about FPGAs.

For normal FPGA Design Windows is common, as some (backend-) FPGA tools are either Windows only or show better performance under Windows. For general digital design (and especially frontend of code entry and simulation) professionals use often Linux/Solaris when it comes to complex and large designs. One reason for using Linux/Solaris is, that handling of large designs requires often more than 2GB memory, but especially those tools mentioned above that are Windows only or show bad performance under Linux tend to be Win32 only or show bad performance in Win64 server systems. A rule of thumb: simple free starter kits are more on the Windows side, professional tools could be better used on Linux Server. bye Thomas

Especially if you're using Synopsys tools. Petter -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
