GNAT on Debian or Gentoo?

["Adrian Hoe" <abyhoe@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have been using SuSE Linux all the time and I am tired of SuSE's
broken online updates which frequently crashed and hang my systems.
This happened again 2 days ago after I performed online update to some
systems both in my office and home. I have been testing Debian on two
of my machines at work and both run very stable without reboot. The
online update using apt-get was very stable indeed.

One advantage of Debian is that one can easily perform a version update
using apt-get. A version update on SuSE is a little tricky and
troublesome.

I am thinking of switching to Debian or Gentoo. Does anyone have any
experience developing Ada applications on both Debian and Gentoo Linux?

I read some unfavored comments on Gentoo regarding outdated emerge on
gnat and Ada related packages. On the other hand, I have heard many
good comments about developing Ada applications on both Debian and
Gentoo. I have also read and heard about developing Ada applications on
SuSE.

I am a little confused and eagerly to move away from SuSE or I should
stay with SuSE.

Can someone shine some light of wisdom on me?

Thanks and best regards,
