LOL.
PS: Installing An Acrobat PDF reader in Linux is a breeze. Depending on your distro, look around in your distro's add/remove software manager, and look for the package "xpdf"
Good luck

This will only work if your distribution has an automated software installation manager (such as Debian-based distros, Gentoo, Redhat/Mandrake with "apt4rpm" installed, etc) while many may still require you to hunt around for your own dependencies. If you can buy your own distro, try Xandros out since it has a very nice and easy to use installer and automated installation (since it is based on Debian and uses "apt"). Also, Redhat can have many applications installed somewhat automatically if you register your system with their online service (you get one box for free, whereas if you pay for the service per box you can have them all manageable at the same time and get priority download serivce) you can manage it via a webinterface and schedule downloads and installations. This works out really well, provided they have the application and version of it available through this interface.
