This is also false, perhaps it is time to get another 
tutorial. If it really says this it is wrong. There is
no required support for time slicing in Ada 95. The only
required scheduling discipline is run till blocked, and
that is only required if you use the proper pragma and
annex D is supported.

On a system like GNU/Linux or NT, you will get whatever the underlying
threads mechanism provides. You did not
even say which threads package you were using on your
system.
