Do try the installer from Adobe, it's no big deal. Personally, I have a
seperate /usr/local partition where I store such things as Acrobat,
Real, Java, etc, since they can be recycled with whichever flavour of
linux I'm using atm.

As a matter of fact--I rarely use Acrobat, preferring Xpdf--it's a lot
faster and more stable for casual pdf viewing. I've got my web browser
set to hand off .pdf's to Xpdf--as embedded Acroread just tends to be a
bad idea.
