You can get the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux, although how easy this
is depends on your distro.  There's also XPDF and KPDF (PDF viewers
written for the X-window system and KDE, respectively, but of course
they'll work on everything).

In my experience screen output of PDFs can be dodgy anyway with certain
complex documents like scores.  When I made PDF exports from Finale they
looked terrible even in Acrobat (and not for the reasons cited in the
Lilypond documentation).  I presume your work looks fine when printed?
