How do I choose the application when opening a file in UNIX?

If I have a file in OSX (e.g. a pdf), I can choose how to open it i.e. with the "open with..." command from the 'right click menu'.

Sometimes a pdf is garbled in OSX Preview so I need to open it in Adobe Acrobat.

NAME
GWorkspace - GNUstep Workspace Manager SYNOPSIS
GWorkspace DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the GWorkspace GNUstep application. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. GWorkspace is the official GNUstep workspace manager. It is a clone of NeXT's workspace manager. GWorkspace is probably one of the most useful and usable workspace managers available on any platform, owing to its well-designed interface and the natural, consistent design that it inherits from the GNUstep framework. The first time you run GWorkspace you must set some preferences: GWorkspace needs a default editor to work. It can also be an app-wrapper. To set your editor, open the preferences window and choose "Default Editor" from the pop-up, then click on the "choose" button: from an open-panel you will be able to browse your directories and choose the editor. GWorkspace lets you open a terminal on the current directory (alt-t). To set your preferred terminal (the default is "xterm"), choose "XTerminal" from the pop-up. MODULES
Besides its standard Contents Inspectors, that is, App, Folder, Image, Sound, Pdf-Ps, Rtf, text, Plist, Strings and Inspector viewers, GWorkspace can dynamically load other modules which you can build separately. It is sufficient to put them in a place where GWorkspace looks for them, for example: ~/GNUstep/Library/GWorkspace. In the same way you can add other viewers besides the standard Browser, Icon and Small Icons viewers. If you want to write a new inspector or a new viewer, take a look in the Template directory. LANGUAGES
GWorkspace speaks English, French, German, Italian and Romanian. OPTIONS
There are no options. SEE ALSO
