For the first time in my life, a webcam that works with Linux and is being sold in stores!
Installation is easy (duh, it's USB). As for configuration, however, you have to change the generic kernel configuration so that it's using Video 4 Linux 2, not the depreciated version 1. This means recompiling. Then install linux-uvc package from alienBOB's website.
Skype works great! (also from a package by alienBOB). The video and the audio both work on this device without any tweaking. It's truly amazing!
I'd definitely recommend this thing. It's 2 megapixel and fast. AlienBOB rocks!
