Now I'm partial, but, for me, Debian "forces" me to use particular
compiler, because of lack of packages in proper (deb) format. :)
Please treat this like a joke, package management and lots of packages
are important to me (and I think not only for me) and can attract
people to distribution. Of course, I can try to produce own packages,
but maybe I don't have knowledge or time.

Of course it is weakness of Linux (and its diversity), not Ada.
