If you mean "free" as in "costs nothing", many vendors have versions of various tools available for free download, and most, if not all, of the FSF-free stuff is also free. Again, www.adapower.com is a good starting point. Some of the Ada textbooks come with a CDROM with a compiler, etc, but the books are not free. Walnut Creek has an Ada CDROM for a rather low price with a lot of good stuff. I don't know of any vendor who will promise support of these free tools for free, but most have mailing lists for their users, who will be happy to help, and of course comp.lang.ada is also a good source of help.
