I'm using Ada under Debian/kFreeBSD as a Debian Maintainer. It runs
quite well as far as I remember. May be some glitch at the beginning of
the port of some packages...

One (out of topic ?) remark : on the same hardware, the data acquisition
software was running "better" (from a data flow point of view) on the
kFreeBSD version than on Linux (comparisons values lost somewhere on my
hard disk), may be this should raise some interest for this target for
those who are looking for performances ?
