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?

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.

Matt
