I know it may be too late, but InfoZip is free software (http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/) and GSView (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm) is a replacement for Acrobat that is also free software. And as much as I like Opera, it is not free software. :( Too bad Phoenix (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/phoenix-release-notes.html) is not more mature. I've been having bad luck with Mozilla lately.
