Basic question: I've always been confused about which "Ada" to use.

If one wants to write some program in Ada for school,
and want to use Ada. Should one download gcc which has
Ada in it, or download gnat GPL 2010?

Can someone, using simple words, explain which one of
the above should one install? For example, gnatmake comes
with both gcc/ada and gnat GPL 2010?  Should one use gnatmake
or the new gpl configuration files to build an Ada program?

thanks
