Hello, 

here is how I've started learning ADA one week ago on linux : 

1) get and install gnat (you need to have gcc already installed)
one of the place is ftp://ftp.cnam.fr/pub/Ada/PAL/compiler/gnat

2) learn how to compile and link a simple hello.adb program. 
you should find the documentation in the gnat directory.

3) there is a very nice on line tutorial called 'lovelace', 
a link is http://lglsun.epfl.ch/Ada/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.htm

4) buy a book and play with bigger projects, not just read them.

you should be all set,
