Installing Chrome Browser and Adobe Reader in Raring Ringtail

[trotter1985]

Just downloaded and installed beta 2. Three critical (for me)
applications are (1) dropbox; (2) google chrome browser and
(3) adobe reader. Dropbox went on without a hitch but
google chrome balked and reported a library error. Also,
acroread is not to be found in the "partners" repository.
Workarounds appreciate.

Google Chromium is supported - Chrome is not

Thanks for the howefield (forums moderator) for the links to
other threads. The google chrome issue is resolved after I
did the two required downloads as instructed. But the
Adobe Reader link did not work. Of course, the wget part is
fine, but when I tried to install the file, I got this error:

adobereader-enu depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.4)

There must be a download link somewhere for this
one?!

Thankx
