It requires a JavaVM of course (its..java) Wether your distro offers that or not, you can install it. Processing is JavaVM-dependent and not OS-dependent since java is available for almost everything.

:)

That was my point. I think I have used processing with other VMs (icedtea, openJDK, ...)  but I can confirm that later this week.

Actually, a few years ago the project has deliberately switched to the
non-l33t spelling of the name of the project so "Proce55ing" and
"Processing" are 2 different products.  The latter is obsolete.

I may be wrong but I believe that Processing will require Sun's Java
in order to work correctly which is not installed be default with some
Linux distributions.
