Hi Nathan,

Try visiting:

Follow the directions for setting up his repository in yum, then simply 
type (as root or w/ sudo)...

yum install acroread

The first time you run yum, you'll have a bit of waiting to do, as each 
repository in the /etc/yum.repos.d folder has to download header files 
for each available package. On a fast connection it could take 15 
minutes, but I've seen it take over an hour from a cable-modem connection.

After this first header download, using yum is really very easy and 
convenient, so you may want to google around for some more info on how 
to best use yum. You can use it to install almost any piece of available 
software, but more importantly, you can use it to keep your system up to 
date.

Aloha,
Chris
