Try http://www.acm.org/sigapl/index.htm

I don't think there's a free version of APL but there are certainly commercial versions that ought to cost no more than the Windows equivalent - in particular IBM's APL2 is still going.

Amongst the languages that come with SuSE, Python is probably closest in 'feel' to APL - though of course, a lot more readable. It might be worthwhile trying also.
