Anyone knows good environment to program VHDL and simulate it (don't matter Xilinx or Altera) using Linux?

You're stuck with either vendors tools, which are spotty at best on Linux (though my experience with Alteras utilities are somewhat better than with ISE).

However, if all you want to do is run your testbed, not actually synthesize anything, ghdl will be of use.
