I used ivritex (it is installed as elatex, but it is somehow different). >From that point on, I went according to Tzafrir's examples (I used the old thesis template, but he has some new things about Arthur Dent, very amusing). The Hebrew I got showed fine on Linuces (it was RH 7.1 and 7.3 at the time) (using xpdf), but Acrobat Reader on Window had huge problems with it. It also printed fine using ps. Mind you, you must remember to use "dvips -G0 -Ppdf *.dvi" (that was G zero, not G O), or any pdf will not show properly, not just Hebrew.
