Our pal Mike over on Popular Science has a good photo frame project, he writes – “Turn an old laptop into a digital frame that automatically displays new shots from your Flickr account–then give it to your mother…” – Link.

this looks great- is there a “slikr” equivalent for linux?

I have similar setup based on a P1 233 Mhz panelPC. Looks great, especially in conjunction with Konfabulator to display some weather/calendar stats.

Here’s an interesting linux script for the above commenter: http://www.geocities.com/karlsson/download_from_flickr.html I’m sure there must be other solutions also.
