Yipes! The only thing as likely as a language flame war is a
distribution flame war!
If you care about Ada support under Linux, it sure seems as if debian is
the way to go. While the gnuada project has many packages available for
a few different Unix platforms, I still think the work that is being
done in debian is top notch.
I have been running centos 4 for a while and recently started migrating
to centos 5. Centos combined with rpmforge is a pretty compelling target
in that you get the stability of the redhat enterprise packages and
still have access to some bleeding edge items.
Centos includes yum and is very easy to update.
