I think quartus may create a disk signature for the win32 version.  I
seem to recall having trouble moving it one time in the past after a
machine died.  No idea about linux.

[btw: I am enjoying this thread but dont' find the profanity is helping.]

Xilinx is a company like any other and will do things that companies
think they need to do - frustrating or otherwise.  I for one am grateful
they give out their low end tools for free.  Having suffered through
iverilog and cver bugs I'm happy to run modelsim on windows-xp - for
free.  I seem to manage to get every verilog simulator I use to lock up,
crash or do the wrong thing depending on which internal race condition
I manage to trigger.
