Correction:
It turns out that Adobe are deceptive liars.

"While the press release, and some news sources, say that the latest version
of Reader supports Linux, their writers didn't check the download. If you go
to the Reader download site, what you'll actually download is... Reader
7.08.
That was unexpected.
I called Adobe, and the official word is that a major typo made it through
their public relations system. The truth of the matter is that Reader 8
isn't available for Linux, or HP/UX, or AIX, or Solaris and SPARC yet."
