google acroread linux rpm and you'll find it.
It's not in any repositories AFAIK (and if it is, probably against
Adobe's wishes)

My laptop is same way (Thinkpad) - you will get use to it, but I think
there is an app called "funkeys" or something that can swap them - I
think there's another tool too, xload or xkey or xmodmap or something
like that (I don't remember, been awhile) that might be able to do it.

I think it is xmodmap. It's what I use to use to swap backspace/delete

I think it might be in rpm.livna.org

Maybe you secretly want to learn Japanese and just don't know it? ;)
