I like to suggest that if you already own a regular video cam, to hook it up with a TV card. you will have a thousand % better picture and color than any quickcam, and since you are using something you already might own and you can pull the cable out of the videdeo cam and use it like you would normally Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Logictech Quickcam Express
I can get a Quickcam Express at eBay for $14.95. Sounds like a good deal, and it appears to be supported in Linux, but I don't know how well it works in Linux. What say you? Is it a good buy for a Linux user? Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
