Hi all,
My 2 cents worth of strategy is to stay with RH 5.2 and just update the
kernel as required (am presently running 2.3.6 OK).  RH even has a very
nice tutorial on how to do this.  This way there are no problems with
any version of GNAT.  IMHO RH 6.0 dosn't offer much that I need, but
I do need GNAT.
