Where are you buying you're books from? Some vendors will allow you to download the ASCM file that ADE uses to download the actual EPUB. Once you get the ASCM file all you need to do is open it in ADE on your Linux computer using Wine.

If the store (like Adobe's website) isn't letting you download the ASCM file then you could try changing the user agent for your web browser. There is an easy to use Firefox plugin for this. Changing your user agent so your web browser reports that you're using Windows might get around that issue.
