Use Debian.  gnat and glade are there, precompiled for you.  If you
choose Woody (the latest, but ageing, stable version) these will be
3.14p.  If you choose Sarge (the upcoming stable version, currently in
testing), these will be 3.15p.

FWIW, I didn't have too much trouble compiling GNAT or GLADE, but you
can save yourself the sweat by using the precompiled packages.

You only write one main procedure.  gnatdist uses the configuration
pragmas and a configuration file to produce as many executables as
necessary.

This is also documented.  You can choose between static and dynamic
remote calls, but I don't know the details.

I don't know.  I don't know what openMosix is.

What are these?
