So am I understanding correctly that PDF is now an open standard? Then 
again, mp3 was supposed to be a standard also, but it has been plagued 
with many patent issues. Doesn't Adobe still control the format? I'll 
definitely need to do further research on this matter.

P.S. Writing this from a newly up and running Arch Linux flash drive 
with GNOME, Orca and Thunderbird for e-mail. I'll likely try getting 
Alpine up and running on this system as well, since there's no guarantee 
that I'll always be able to have enough memory to run GNOME. I'm 
actually quite pleasantly surprised that it's working so well on this 
machine that only has 512MB of ram, which is actually a ton more than I 
thought it had.
