Installed Adobe, where it is?

if you run:

acroread

does it run. "Adobe Acrobat" is not "Adobe". "Adobe" is not a software so cannot be run. Adobe make a LOT of softwares, one of which is Acrobat reader.

Press CTRL+ALT+T and a terminal will run, or click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Appreciate it. I do want to let you know that I was running RH Linux
in the late '90's as a dual-boot O/S with Windows NT. I could never
get any help from anyone so I gave up with Linux. Then after 4 yrs. I
started with Mandriva, again, the same issues. Nobody gave me any help.
I will be honest, the only reason I am running Ubuntu 10.10 is because I
experienced a virus with Win XP, my only salvation was to install
Ubuntu. I was pleasantly surprised. I am back to square one, but am
working on understanding Linux again after 12 yrs.

It is people like you that have once again renewed my faith in the Linux
community. I want to thank you very much!
