Sorry. When you talked about "our customers" and what they use, I presumed
you
were looking for ways to use Ada professionally. Trying to use Ada on

probably not the best way to learn the language. GNAT on Linux is an easy
and
inexpensive way to learn the language.

Have you looked at adapower.com and adaworld.com?
