http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Hebrew

for a map. If you find a GOOD program that teaches Hebrew touch typing on
Linux I'd be interested to know about it.
I'm in a bit similar situation - living abroad with no ready access to
keyboards with Hebrew letters, need to learn Hebrew touch typing to be able
to communicate in Hebrew effectively.

It might be worth asking on linux-il at cs.huji.ac.il (and/or check their
archives first, and wear your thick(er) skin when you go there).
