This is great news. Hopefully, when I enter the commercial world, I won't be bound to Windows. As for the electonic CAD stuff, I would be interested in some suggestions, specifically to the need:

VHDL entry
schematic entry
quick programming to FPGA board
big student discounts on the FPGA board

Currently, this is what Altera Corporation offers to many professors. The Alter in-house developed MaxPLUS program is very simple to use for students entering their first significant digital design class. The UPX student board has a large CPLD and 70k gate FPGA, plus JTAG input for a nice $150 US.
