Yes, the second place I develop is a Linux box.  However, I still prefer
to leave path names out of the include statement.  As far as distribution
goes, my feeling is that people can either properly install a library so
that it's in their EUINC path, or they can dump any required libs into
the same directory.  That's what I like to do.   In general, I try to 
avoid hard coding things like paths.
