Which freeware is recommended to use for experiments and and simple
tests of designing with VHDL in Linux?

this one is free, but complex and incomplete:
http://ghdl.free.fr/

This looks like what you need, but it isn't quite free:

I work a lot with http://ghdl.free.fr/
It compiles well a complex design such as LEON processor:
I2C master connected and tested with LEON Processor

I had problems compiling the Altera libraries with ghdl some time ago.
Did anybody have any success using ghdl with the Altera libraries?

I may be top-posting, but at least I'm not hijacking (and killing)
threads.

BTW, GHDL does work for specific Altera primitives; every one that
I've tried, that is.

You have a look at:
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/digital.html

Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) provides you the most complete platform
for hardware engineering based on opensource software.
