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.
