My Goal - Latin Tools for Redhat, SUSE, Ubuntu Linux

I will search for and provide links to Open Source , Linux operating system tools for learning Latin. There are several packages for the Windows platform. My goal will be to find , and /or create Latin language tools that are compatible with or designed for Linux OS platform.

YES, Reginald Foster is marvelous!!! One of my former students has studied quite some time in Rome and reports glowingly of all that he does there (she's actually in the process of joining a Carthusian order in France now). We're so lucky to have some of Father Foster online too, for those of us not lucky enough to be in Rome! :-)

I was intrigued by your blog posts, Eric, and from your page here I found my way to the Kolbe.org website. That is something new to me, and I thought it was very informative and inspiring. Although I am not Catholic myself, one of my own personal interests in studying Latin is the religious tradition conveyed and expressed in Latin. Best wishes to you in all your work! :-)
