Well, the right answer should be that Adobe should make better software, and take their lumps when their faults are found. Not, make your own computer worse, for the sake of coping with poor software. We've (nearly) all seen where that attitude lies with Windows (masses of exploits, thousands of viruses). It's not a Linux-oriented bitch, either. Adobe is seen as a dangerous condition for all OSs. Browsers now warn users against PDF files, virus checkers regard them as dangerous until proved otherwise, and security advisories warn users about them. A far more likely reason that Adobe, or any other profit-oriented business doesn't make something for Linux, is that they don't see a return on their investment. They want to sell software, or a service, and we're not paying customers. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
