Installing Adobe Reader 9.2 in Ubuntu 9.10

To install Adobe Reader 9.2 in Ubuntu 9.10, you have to enable the Canonical Partner Repository. Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources

Select Third-Party Software and and check the checkbox for http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu partner.
Close and accept to reload.

It is now possible to install "acroread" by
sudo apt-get install acroread

Or from System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager, but for some reason it is not found in Ubuntu Software Center?

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter version 3 of the SoftwareCenter will offer "commercial software for sale". But according to http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/30/the-new-ubuntu-software-center/ and http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=1031 it should be possible to install "commercial/non-free software" in version 3.

In Ubuntu 10.4 the Software Center should replace "Synaptic, Software Sources, Gdebi, and possibly the Update Manager" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Software_Center, so version 3 should be out at that time - I hope :)
