Great news! I have ISE 10.1 installed on my Linux box. I assume the stock Xilinx JTAG3 programming cable will suffice?Id certainly say so. I just treated myself to the JTAG2 ( http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=122-1572-ND ) as it works fine. There are cheaper soultions on the way.
Ouch. I paid $25 for a 200k gate Spartan 3 board + power supply + JTAG3 parallel cable at one of the MIT Electronics Flea Markets.
