I got an update abo for SuSE - so if SuSE 10.1 comes out a new gnat will
come out as well.

Besides: GNAT/GPL does not compile "out of the box" on SuSE 10.0 - you need
to bootstrap with a GNAT/GPL version compiled on SuSE 9.3. Which shows that
a gnat installation tend to work on the next version as well.

Try www.opensuse.com and download a SuSE 10.0 then. SuSE 10.0 even got
network install.
