Yep, one option is to extract the required adeptkey.der file on a Windows PC then move it to Linux.
Another option, for those that don't have a Windows box available, is to install Adobe Reader and ADE under wine in Linux, then crank up ADE and register it and generate and extract your DRM key under Linux Wine.
To do this, after ADE is registered under Wine, you will need to load the Win32 versions of Python and PyCrypto libraries into Wine, then run the Python key extraction script from a 'wineconsole cmd' virtual C:\> prompt (this is easier if you copy the ineptkey script right into the wine C:\Python26 folder, then CD to that folder to run the script).
Running the key extraction script from a 'wineconsole cmd' virtual C:\ prompt allows it to run inside the virtual wine environment and find your local ADE key so you can use it to make your legally downloaded ADE DRM books readable under Linux.
