Thanks Guido, Yes, in future years, I may have to, If Adobe really drops/ has dropped Unix, & If/when FreeBSD ABIs become incompatible with the Linux binaries. However that would be horrible work, installing an MS partition just for Adobe reader. While ABIS remain compatible, I will prefer to use acroread, even if I have to migrate forward & maintain the last acroread port myself.
