Howdy,

My relatives are shaming me into using a web-cam for our chats; they even
say this Internet thingy will catch on, or something.  Anyway, I'm
looking for a Linux-friendly web-cam.  I've heard good things about
Logitech, but they have 1001 models.  What's needed, what's useful and
what can be ignored about webcams?  Are there some models that can be
unwrapped, connected to the first USB port and just getting them to
work with any recent Ubuntu/Fedora distro?

Are there any programs on Linux that interoperate with some web-cam
enabled chat programs on Windows?  (I know about IRC, but my UTF-8
rendition is definitely not that flattering).

Thanks,
florin
