For RealPlayer and Acrobat, I suggest you take a look at the vendors websites.
I have just been to adobe.com for acrobat for Winsucks, and there was a whole list I had to choose from..... Linux, MAC, FreeBSD etc... as for realplayer, I'm sure I got the RPM for rp8 from the real site. If youre struggling, I have the RPM here, so I could always send it to you. On 9.2, Acrobat seems to be integrated into Konqueror, so thats what I use for .pdf work.
