I used to use this with Winblows, and it seemed just as good as Adobe Reader. The only thing it lacks is the ability to create/edit PDFs. I guess you could always export PDFs from OpenOffice.

Really? Never noticed, it is just an application I can choose to install when installing Opensuse 10.3.

Yes, it is Adobe's product and therefore including it in repositories would probably be breaking some copyright laws.

i think debian-multimedia has it in the repositories.... and maybe in opensuse you have it as well... but..
