There are, I'm sure, dozens of free RSS screensavers out there for both Windows and Linux.
Ok, with the screensaver route it's doable and passable in many instances. I got away with it making the Mac-based frame for my brother. But one really needs more specialized software if the frame is intended for someone who isn't computer savvy. My brother can easily connect to a share on the frame to copy images to it, or remote login using VNC to copy images off a connected USB drive. My parents on the other hand could never do that. 
Using RSS would hopefully give the savvy admin the ability to set up photos remotely on a frame connected to a high speed internet connection, but truthfully, I haven't seen any great programs yet (ones that are great at the slideshow portion of the puzzle). Of course the last time I looked was earlier this year when making the original frame.
