Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Ok, so I tried installing the reader directly from the tarball and I didn't have a successful result. So, I went to slackbuilds.org and grabbed the build script and everything hoping that it will run smooth, but alas, everything was in vain. I tried running it on a terminal console to see if I will have some info about the error and this is what I got, flooding my terminal:
expr: syntax error
Anyone had success in fixing the error? Thank you very much for your replies.
I received the same kind of error when installing the packages for Adobe Reader 7.0.8 at linuxpackages. I have yet to resolve this as well, but found that the default pdf reader that is part of either Slackware 11 or Dropline Gnome works just as well for me, and faster than Adobe Reader ever was for me!

Here's a good tip. Download the firefox addon called 'pdf download'. And tell it to use a particular pdf viewer whenever you need to view or download a pdf from the web. You need to tell pdf download which viewer to use, eg /usr/X11R6/bin/xpdf.
You will get that error if you try to use Adobe's official reader with GTK+2.10 or greater. There is a bug in Adobe's version detection.
Oh! So that's the culprit. I knew I shouldn't have trusted proprietary too much. I guess i'm getting used with evince. But I will still be glad to fix this using the aforementioned fix. Thank you mr. zborgerd.
