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

Installing Evince

Debian, Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install evince
CentOS
sudo yum install evince
Fedora
sudo dnf install evince
OpenSUSE
sudo zypper install evince
Arch
sudo pacman -S evince
-OR-
su -c "pacman -S evince"

Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine

Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine Replica of the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM) at the  Museum of Science and Industry  in Castlefield ,  Manchester The  Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine  ( SSEM ), nicknamed Baby , was the world's first  stored-program computer . It was built at the  Victoria University of Manchester , England, by  Frederic C. Williams ,  Tom Kilburn  and Geoff Tootill , and ran its first program on 21 June 1948. [1] The machine was not intended to be a practical computer but was instead designed as a  testbed  for the  Williams tube , an early form of computer memory. Although considered "small and primitive" by the standards of its time, it was the first working machine to contain all the elements essential to a modern electronic computer. [2]  As soon as the SSEM had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university ...

Timeline of computing hardware 2400 BC–1949

Timeline of computing hardware 2400 BC–1949 This article presents a detailed  timeline  of events in the history of  computing hardware : from prehistory until 1949 . For narratives explaining the overall developments, see  History of computing . Contents Prehistory –1640 Edit Date Event 80000 BC Two notched rib bones may have been used for counting but they could have been merely decorative. [1] 18000 BC The  Ishango bone , may indicate that – even so early – material objects were used for simple arithmetical operations, and it may provide evidence of some knowledge of  prime numbers  (although this is disputed). [2] c. 2400 BC The  abacus  – the first known calculator, was probably invented by the  Babylonians  as an aid to simple  arithmetic around this time period. This laid the foundations for  positional notation  and later  computing  developments. c.   1115 BC The...
