Hey guys I am upgrading a few things this year with my tax return, mouse/keyboard, desk etc. I am wanting to buy a webcam to talk to my buddy in Korea and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations?
I have an Hercules Dualpix Exchange (Guillemot) and it is detected by Slackware 12.2 automatically. It is also supported by kopete and ekiga (take into account the advice here: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?p...bcam%20support , regarding udev and v4l rules). I have not investigated if there are other 3rd party drivers which may improve performance.
I suppose Logitech webcams are also easily detected in Linux.
