There are several webcam utilities for Linux, several come with most versions of Linux now; a quick Google search will turn up several names, and how-to guides on how to set up a webcam. Have you looked?

ya sure...i am using ubuntu 7.10.....and my webcam is CREATIVE.....but i dont know the exact model number......
