G'day Jason,
I use the Xdvi program to view .dvi files, if you use Debian linux
it's in the dviutils package and can be installed with
"apt-get install dviutils" or you can visit the Xdvi page at
http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html
or you can just download the source code directly from
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xdvi-22.tar.gz
If your after a RPM a quick search at freshmeat will probably turn
one up for you
Cheers
Joel
