And I guess that part about the code being on the PandaBoard was pretty stupid

it's alright, but does that make sense?
I know for a fact that a webcam you go and by at the store does not require any work arounds to use it, not entirely sure about a webcam built into a computer however.
I have personally never used the IP Axis Camera, but due to the sheer volume of teams that do use it, i assume you dont have to hack it, and if you do, it will be something simple.
I dont believe you need the OMAP 4 addons to run opencv, if you do however:

As for finding a better OS....Ubuntu is essentially the king of all OS for programming. It has a fast compile time, terminal is very easy to learn, and doesn't bug you with a bunch a features like windows and mac does.
