I tried it under wine.
Didn't succeed (yet).
I think wine has problems with the copy-protection driver/hardware tricks 
quartus tries to use.

If you know how to "patch" software to remove crashing features you might 
succeed.

Now I am rebooting all the time between windows and linux.
This is because I also am modifying the fpga design (using quartus II web for 
windows) but test gnuradio under linux most of the time.
(Because it compiles faster under linux then under mingw)

Anybody else a success story?
