There are many ways to view PDF documents in a Linux environment. Depending on your needs, we currently recommend LibreOffice if you need to edit a PDF, and Evince for simple PDF viewing.

LibreOffice

LibreOffice Writer, which is part of the open source LibreOffice suite, does a great job opening, viewing, editing, and writing PDF documents.

Installing LibreOffice

To install LibreOffice, use the instructions below which correspond to your specificoperating system:
Debian and Ubuntu
Debian and Ubuntu both use the APT package management system. In your terminal, run the following command to install the LibreOffice software package:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice
CentOS
In CentOS first, download the LibreOffice package from https://libreoffice.orgappropriate for your system architecture. For instance, in this example we have downloaded LibreOffice_5.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz, which is an RPM package of LibreOffice 5.1.4 for 64-bit computers, into our Downloads directory.
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the archive, for example:
cd ~/Downloads
The archive is a gzipped tar file. Extract it:
tar -xzvf LibreOffice_5.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
The archive directory structure is extracted into the current directory. Change to the directory containing the RPMs:
cd LibreOffice_5.1.4.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS/
Then use the yum package manager to install all of the RPM packages. Any requireddependencies are also downloaded and installed:
sudo yum localinstall *.rpm
Fedora
Installing LibreOffice on Fedora is similar to installing on CentOS. First, download the RPM archive for your machine architecture from https://libreoffice.org. In this case, we downloaded the same 64-bit RPM archive as above,LibreOffice_5.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz.
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the archive, for example:
cd ~/Downloads
Extract the archive:
tar -xzvf LibreOffice_5.1.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
Navigate to the directory containing the RPMs:
cd LibreOffice_5.1.4.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS/
Finally, install all RPMs with the dnf package management tool. Dnf is similar to yum, but the command syntax is slightly different for installing local packages:
sudo dnf install *.rpm
OpenSUSE
OpenSUSE uses the zypper package management tool. From your terminal, run:
sudo zypper install libreoffice
Arch Linux
Arch Linux uses the pacman package manager. To install libreoffice, run:
sudo pacman -S libreoffice
or:
su -c "pacman -S libreoffice"
Choose the package libreoffice-fresh or libreoffice-still. For the newest features, choose libreoffice-fresh. For the version that is the most reliably stable, chooselibreoffice-still.

Evince PDF Viewer

Evince is a lightweight program that loads and renders PDF documents in a clean, precise manner. You may prefer it to LibreOffice if all you need to do is view a PDF.
Viewing a PDF using Evince on Linux

Fedora
sudo dnf install evince
OpenSUSE
sudo zypper install evince
Arch
sudo pacman -S evince
-OR-
su -c "pacman -S evince"

BIOS

BIOS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the BIOS as found in IBM PC compatibles. For similar programs on non-PC systems, see  booting . The  BIOS  ( / ˈ b aɪ . ɒ s / , an acronym for  Basic Input/Output System  and also known as the  System BIOS ,  ROM BIOS  or  PC BIOS ) is a type of  firmware  used to perform hardware initialization during the  booting  process (power-on startup) on  IBM PC compatible  computers, and to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs. [1]  The BIOS firmware is built into  personal computers  (PCs), and it is the first software they run when powered on. The name itself originates from the Basic Input/Output System used in the CP/M  operating system in 1975. [2] [3]  Originally  proprietary  to the IBM PC, the BIOS has been  reverse engineered  by companies looking to create compatible ...
