Yes, pd-* is Pure Data. I just got a Beta book from Pragmatic on Pd -  
http://pragprog.com/book/thsound/programming-sound-with-pure-data.

In other news, I probably posted this already, but I have my HP  
Pavilion dv4 on Fedora 20, installed from the Jam 20130914 nightly  
64-bit ISO. It seems to be rock-solid, at least on a wired network.  
I'm currently learning both Pure Data and ChucK. I've got them both  
installed on my Fedora 19 laptop from Planet CCRMA, but I know ChucK  
builds from source on both 19 and 20. I haven't tried a source build  
of Pure Data yet on either; it looks a bit hairy compared to ChucK.
