1. Linux installation

I apologize, but I haven't used Linux for many years. Always preferred BSD, but have been away from that for awhile, too.
What is the recommended installation location for Euphoria on Ubuntu? /usr/local?
I've borrowed my wife's Xubuntu Acer netbook for a few days.
Edit append: Should the Debian version be used on Xubuntu? Also, any issue with the PCBSD release using FreeBSD?
Thanks, mike

As for Linux, typically, if you install stuff yourself (e.g., make install), it goes into /usr/local. The package manager uses /usr. On Xubuntu, you should be able to use the debian package that was released. It installs into /usr for you.
If you build from source, the default is to install to /usr/local.
I don't think anyone has tried PCBSD, and I've never used it, so I can't offer any good advice, though I think we'd all be interested in hearing about how it comes out.

Okay, I should go with the Debian package. Tnx.
I worked with PCBSD for several months. A better kernel than Linux, imho, but not worth arguing about. Marketing is always the determining factor there, and Torvalds won that one. I have an AMD64 box to put PCBSD on. I'll let you know.

Matt,
Sorry about the delay.
After a fair amount of irritation with selective boot options, I installed PCBSD on the #2 SATA of an AMD64 box, but it's not happy with the wireless network, so I can't vouch for those functions. Using the .bz2 plain vanilla RC2 file, everything works just fine. Of course, it's not a package or a port, but manually installed in either user HOME or /usr/local, no problem (PCBSD installs with HOME/bin in PATH).It ran the eutest suite with 4 errors (t_bundled, t_io, t_net_http, t_socket), all of which I'm assuming is a product of wireless she-no-work situation (Netgear WG111V2). My wife has a DLink adapter, but there were loud screams, so I'll move it where there's an Ethernet jack later.
It seems development got real busy making PCBSD just as irritating as Windows, but it sure does run like the proverbial scalded cat.
