Yes I think you need to convert the encoding to Iso Latin before moving 
your file to Linux. I've done a quick test and it seems to work: in 
TeXShop, in Preferences/Document select the Iso Latin encoding, type 
your accented letters directly, then in LaTeX select 
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}. Doing this, I get in my LaTeXed output 
the accents corresponding to the keys I pressed. But I've not yet tried 
to move the TeX input file created by TeXShop to a Linux box, and see 
what happens.
