I can believe that. I was asking in terms of what OSes and/or
processors might have better support, or fewer gotchas. What I want
to avoid is the situation where some port or feature X has not been
kept up to dat, or is known to have problems. For example, I believe
I remember some years back that there was a problem or poor
performance with some version of Linux threads. That kind of thing.
What I want to do is not accidentally drift so far out of the
mainstream that I cause myself grief.

I appreciate that suggestion, but I'd like to work with a 32-bit
mainstream processor family. While my goal now is just to play
around, if I could use what I learn in some real products down the
line so much the better. It's that hopeful thing about maybe getting
paid to do Ada (after I first have some fun with it).
