Installing Adobe Reader 9.1 on Aspire One Linux

A fairly recent version of Adobe Reader is already installed on the AA1, but against the trend of previous versions Adobe Reader 9 does launch faster and has enhanced performance. Or so Adobe claims. Other improvements and new features are mentioned here. Adobe does also still offer 8 for download, so you can go back to the previous version if you prefer it.Before you install a new version remove the currently installed version first. The following command will automatically find and uninstall it.sudo rpm -e $(rpm -qa grep AdobeReader)Select Linux RPM and your language here, but cancel the download prompt. Instead copy the download link and paste it into the terminal.wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.1/enu/AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.rpmAdjust the filename if you selected a different language or version, and install it.sudo rpm -i AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.rpmEverything else is already in place from the previous installation. Except for the icon, which requires an additional command and a reboot.sed s/Reader8/Reader9/ -i $HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml
