Something usb video class compliant.  The one unfortunate problem being
that 2.6.26 has a bug in the UVC driver that makes it not work and that
happens to the be kernel in debian Lenny.  Not sure if that has been
patched or not.  2.6.27 and up works great.

And of course skype should be banned.  I consider them far more evil
than Microsoft. :)  Use ekiga or something else SIP and H.323 standards
compliant.  Refuse to use the monopoly p2p based network harming mess that
is skype.
