  Given that the Propeller 2 does not exist and will not exist for at least a year and that it's whole design is under massive revision I'm not surprised.

  Yes, I suppose that is the reason.

  There used to be a direct link to a page with information on the P2.

  Geez, what a convolution to get the Quartus II Web Edition design software. I have no idea what I finally clicked on but eventually it gave a real link. Here's the Linux version direct link - http://download.altera.com/akdlm/software/acdsinst/14.1/186/ib_tar/Quartus-web-14.1.0.186-linux.tar
  
  It's a large and slow download, make sure you are using a downloader with resume feature.

  Well, the download speed shot up a lot and it's finished and installed almost without a hitch.
  
  For some odd reason a storm of Akonadi(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akonadi) activity started occurring somewhere along that process. It was non-stop chewing a decent amount of CPU and possibly filling the HDD with garbage. After a few attempts at killing the interwoven processes it went away and hasn't seemed to return when running Quartus again.

  Hmm, next reboot and the Akonadi activity was back as busy as ever ... A bit of googling and a couple of edits later and I think I've finally disabled the critter for good. It seems there is a lot of things that will trigger this problem.
