[PD] Motion Detection Strategies - Gem

[David Powers]

Is there some easy installation to try out GridFlow? How hard is it to
install the Fedora Core and add the planet ccrma packages, for a
complete Linux beginner?

I'm on WinXP, but I have tried out PD in Linux using Pure:Dyne. The
gridflow examples didn't seem to work, however... Nor did PMPD, if I
remember. They just, well, didn't do anything...

I also don't know, how hard it would be to get the Logitech camera
running under Linux. And to get my wireless USB running in Linux,
which is the only way I can get on the internet, to download the
drivers and software I might need to make everything run...
