acroread is quite obscure... I find it weird that Adobe does not give a **** about Linux community and don't release Reader 6.0 for *nix... this is just beeing lame. if they want their formats (PDF) to last they should care for every platform on earth.

I found a thread discussing that issue in their support forum:
