The site

http://www.cvkimball.com/Tanach/Tanach.xml

operates acceptably with the Firefox 1.5.01 browser on Linux systems.

The following may be helpful to Linux users:

1. Unicode 4.1 isn't currently supported, so the "Lower dot", x05c5,
isn't rendered even if you download SBL Hebrew 1.12.

2. In the "Search for Text" link (TanachSearch.xml) difficulties may be
encountered in entering Unicode Hebrew text into the search text field.
A work-around is to right click the text field and select "Select All"
from the menu. Then paste or the type the text into the text field.

3. OpenOffice.org Writer, build 2.0.0.1, accepts pasted Hebrew text from
the site and renders it well.

Your results may differ. Firefox ( "About") on my system identifies
itself as Mozilla 5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.01), Gecko
20060126, SUSE 1.5.01-5.1, Firefox 1.5.0.1.
