Can anyone recommend a webcam?

[Marcelo Cavalcante]

Hi Willian,

I don't think you should be worried about this. Almost 100% os the webcams
will work on Linux. The new kernel versions are suporting almost 100% of the
cams.

If you use kernel >=2.6.29, u probably won't have problems to make it work.

cheers
