It's not support for Linux you need - it's support from the EDA vendors, 
and IME they won't give you any support unless you're running their multi 
thousand pound/dollar application on a platform that *they* support.

You're also using their tools to layout a chip/asic/fpga and you want to 
be damn sure it's going to work - especially if your going to manufacture 
1000s of them!

Much as I hate being bludgeoned into one particular distro (Debian is my 
choice), that's the way it is, and it's also a small price to pay given 
that most of them have move moved to Linux from the Sun/HP-UX, etc. world.
