I love answering my own questions. However, my current answer was found
in the form of hacking the org.el file. Not something I really want to
do. So...
In the org.el file, I found "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu", made my
adjustments { ("pdf" . "xpdf %s") } and away I went! However, is
there a way I can modify/add to the "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu" via my
.emacs file?
Thanks again.

Just add constant definition like in org.el to your dotfile (emacs config).

Sure, lots of ways. For example
(add-to-list org-file-apps '("pdf" . "xpdf %s"))
But the since the default value of org-file-apps-defaults-gnu is
,----[ C-h v org-file-apps-defaults-gnu RET ]
| org-file-apps-defaults-gnu's value is
| ((remote . emacs)
| (t . mailcap))
`----
It would be even better to adjust (or create) your ~/.mailcap. Then not
only org but most apps will honor this association. For example I have
this
,----[ ~/.mailcap ]
| application/pdf; okular '%s'
`----
to open pdfs with okular.
Hope that helps,
Tassilo

Hello,
Using Orgmode under Windows I can link to a PDF file and the Windows OS
will use the .pdf extension to launch the associated viewer application.
It seems I don't have that luxury under Linux a the moment. I have a
feeling there is a way to do it. Ideas?
i.e. I would like a link:
[[file:info.pdf][Information]]
Under Windows, info.pdf is associated with an app. Under linux, I get
nothing. (Note: Using XFCE4 as my WM and Zenwalk as the distro)
(or is this a non-orgmode question?)
Thanks.
