Thanks Martin!  I was wondering about Annex E support.

I have been planning a move to 64-bit for some time now, and the
uncertainty over the toolchain (and the cost) had held me back.

I now have a 64-bit test system running Linux, but haven't
settled on any particular distribution yet.

Currently, I'm testing Fedora Core 5 Test 3, but it is probably
a bit too "leading edge" for my needs, and I don't want to get
stuck on an OS upgrade treadmill.

I had tried Debian, knowing that Ludovic Brenta was doing
great work on GNAT support in Debian.  But I didn't get on
very well with Sarge, lacking hardware support and multi-arch.
I wasn't sure if I could run the 32-bit applications on it
properly.

Suse seemed very promising, and your creation of a complete
set of GNAT packages makes it quite attractive.  Perhaps this
is what I should use?

As regards Annex E, I am still stuck with the version of Glade
that goes with GNAT 3.15p, and there appears to be a nasty bug
which I hit occasionally.  I had got the impression that
Glade development had halted in favour of PolyOrb.  Which of
these should I be using?  I guess I should stick with Glade 
if that is what you have packaged!

Is it easy to make rpms for FC5?  Or can the SuSE rpms be made to work?

Thanks again!
