Mepis was rather Ubuntu derived for a while but have gone back to being
directly Debian derived recently.
In the past I have done fill in PDF's with SUSE Pro 9.3 and probably Acrobat.
That combo would not work for the new fillable fileable form.
I directly e-filed my income tax thru freefilefillableforms.com using Open
SUSE 11.1. My old 9.3 couldn't even open up the site properly. I do not have
Acrobat installed in 11.1. I think the new fillable fillable forms are using a
lot Flash since Adobe bought Macromedia. Ocular is the nicest PDF viewer I
have seen yet. The new Open Office also opens PDF's and I think it will let
you modify or edit them too.
