I have a new computer I want to use for some development work I am preparing to do. I do NOT want to connect it to the internet as I don't want any theft of my data nor do I want viruses and the like. I have another computer I use for connection to the internet. I run Ubuntu on it and it works great as an internet applicance. It has nothing on it that is of importance. The problem is that I want to install the reader on the "virgin" computer. It seems that the only way I can do it is to connect the "virgin" computer, which I refuse to do. And the Adobe web site insists that I only want a Linux version, which is not true. T How do I get a copy of the reader? How can I download what I want to the other computer. I would then burn a CD and then transfer Acrobat to the "virgin" computer? Is that possible? here is even other software on it that wants to call home also. How can I stop the incessent "calling home" of other software packages? It never used to be this way before. Al
