Well, I've been using FreeBSD for about three weeks now in a new job, and
it took me less than 80 characters of typing to bring up gnat 3.11(p?)
from the /usr/ports/lang/gnat directory. Color me _extremely_ impressed.
make clean
make all
make install clean distclean
was _all_ I had to do after getting to the correct directory and
sudo-ing in as root.
I don't have any Linux experience yet with which to make a comparision,
but judged on its own, FreeBSD is a _very_ viable alternative OS for a
PC-Clone platform, and a usable gnat development platform (probably
better lots than that, but my experience is limited to one non-trivial
Ada 95 program developed there, so far).
