What Linux version runs on 2.2.1?

The version that I picked up at, 
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/3.x/acroread_linux_30.tar.gz
installs but will not run.

/usr/local/Acrobat3/bin > ./acroread
The OS named FreeBSD version 2.2.1-RELEASE is currently not installed.
Try running on a installed platform and connecting to your display.
Installed platform(s) include the following:
  Intel/Linux

Thanks for the help, 
Dan
