Actually Acrobat Reader 6.0 is not available for Linux. The version
available on the Adobe website (if you actually do the download) is
5.0.9. It does work on Ubuntu though--it's ugly, but functional, and
displays PDFs correctly which gpdf does not. It also displays comments
made in a PDF (using Adobe Acrobat), which xpdf/gpdf/ggv do not. It
probably can't be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons, but it's
probably the best PDF reader available for Linux.
