[response version 1.001 ;)]
Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 is available for all the platforms that version 2.1
was available for, plus a few new ones (including Linux). If your operating
system is not one of the platforms, then you might consider picking up a copy
of "xpdf", which is a free X Window System based PDF viewer (there is an Amiga
port of xpdf).

You might also consider picking up a recent version of Ghostscript, a free
PostScript viewer that is now also able to generate and display PDF files.
Version 5.0 and later of Ghostscript includes support for PDF 1.2, which is
the PDF version used by Acrobat 3.0.

Ghostscript has been ported to a number of different operating systems.

Yes, for printing purposes it is frequently easier to have the PostScript
version, but PDF viewers are becoming just as common as PostScript viewers
for display purposes.
