IBM is still selling Apex (IBM Rational Ada Developer) and they do
support Linux

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/developer/embedded/enterprise/index.html

but I think that you are correct that there is no trial copy. If you
work for a company that actually might buy it I am sure that a IBM sales
rep will set you up with an evaluation copy.

I don't know why they don't make a trial version available. Many of the
bigger heritage Rational tools still don't have trial versions (e.g.
Clearcase).

Perhaps you could see if AdaCore would be willing to upgrade 'size in
order to get you as a supported customer.
