SolutionBase: Performing common administrative tasks on a Fedora Core 5 workstation

Linux has a reputation for being a safe operating system, partially because you don't run everything as a root, or administrative, user. However, your installation of Acrobat is being performed as the root user, so, during the installation process. Fedora warns you that software installation can be dangerous and, again, asks for permission before proceeding.

After installation completes, Adobe Acrobat is added to the Applications | Office menu. In general, the steps above will work for just about any RPM-based installation program.
