GNAE is primarily written for GNU/Linux, *BSD, and Unix platforms.
The FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)[3] is a unifying standard for
all GNU/Linux distributions.  The organisation behind GNAE is Florian
Weimer, who is perhaps listening.  He took ideas from J=FCrgen Pfeifer,
who led the Ada for Linux team[4] for a while.

Debian now implements part of the GNAE.  It implements the filesystem
but not the "adainstall" and "adaconfig" commands, which are replaced
with "apt-get" and GNAT project files, respectively. In fact, I would
support a change in GNAE to mandate project files and drop "adaconfig".

I see that Martin Krischik offers RPM packages of GNADE and other
things for SuSe and Red Hat, but I don't know if these packages comply
with the GNAE.

I'm not aware of a MacOS X distribution of Ada packages, but if there
is one, I hope it follows the GNAE too.

The only Ada distribution I know for Windows is AIDE, but it does not
seem to comply with GNAE (but I haven't looked at 1.03).

I don't know what AdaCore or the FSF think of GNAE.  Florian?
