The order is  Debian > SuSE > RedHat

Debian has 3.10p supported, the brandnew SuSE according to their
package list supports outdated 3.09 (although they claim to support
the most actual gnat version) and RH doesn't support gnat at all.
Nevertheless you can get 3.10 packes for RH (and SuSE).
The nice thing with Debian is that they separated gnat from gcc.
You have to use the command "gnatgcc" (although the better advice
is always to use gnatmake) to compile Ada sources, but the gnat
installation no longer interferes with gcc or egcs installs.
I did build something similar for RH and I guess the close to be
released 3.11p will be available for RH.
