The third item was a 16.1 MB PDF of 1,344 pages. A quick scan of the PDF shows every page appears to be readable. 11 pages devoted to BASH. Information on other interesting topics too.

Remember, Adobe Flash BAD, Adobe PDF GOOD.
Amazing how quickly security fundamentals — like declining to download a file which can contain scripts that run on the local machine from a clearly dodgy site — go out the window when put up against expediency.
1. Flash I don't have or use.
2. PDFs can be created by *NON-ADOBE* software. PDF's (well most of them) can be opened by non-Adobe PDF-type software.
3. The Russian's web site is that of a devote cyclist. Most of the films on his web site are of cycling or about cycling. Most of the oldish PDF files are about Linux and in Russian. I do not consider his site presents a malicious danger to me.
