The worst thing of Fedora is these idiotic major core versions, which
cannot be upgraded to. You can upgrade the kernel, but cannot the
distribution. It is pathetic. I tried it each time and each time was forced
to reinstall it completely. Are all Linux distributions like that?

No. This is why I asked if somebody had similar problems. GNAT Pro 6.3.1
does not have these problems. (Normally I report to AdaCore. Most of the
problems were/are related to generics and, recently, to the interfaces.)
