1. GNAT

Under Fedora just install gcc-gnat package. That will give you the GNAT 
compiler:

$>yum install gcc-gnat

For Windows you can download it from here:

http://libre.act-europe.fr

A good IDE for GNAT (alas, without integrated debugger) for Windows is 
AdaGIDE:

http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/adagide.html

You could also try GPS (the same http://libre.act-europe.fr), which is a 
platform-independent IDE for GNAT, but its publicly available version is 
very beta to be usable for debugging.

2. ObjectAda

Compiler+IDE+Debugger of Aonix. Its IDE is more bearable (as compared to 
GPS). It resembles MSVC IDE, though lacks many of its features. Aonix has a 
special limited (in terms of project size) version:

http://www.aonix.com/oa_win_demo.html

It seems that they might have it for Linux as well, but I never tried it 
there.
