For PDFs, xpdf is open-source, works great, and may have been installed by default, depending on distribution. gv will open PostScript (.ps and .eps) files.
Most distributions even include a program called ps2pdf that allows you to print to file, which turns out being PostScript, and thus turn anything you can print into a PDF.

You can use ghostview as well (gv). The official adobe reader is good but I can't get the mouse wheel to scroll down the pages, so I generally use kghostview.
