I'm looking for a webcam that plays well with Linux. I'll be
pointing it out my window and taking pictures every X seconds and putting
them online. Pretty simple, really, except for the Linux compatibility
part. Anyone used any webcams with Linux servers so they know that they
work? Thanks.

Since you haven't said which distro you have, here's some compability
stuff for Mandrake Linux:

Select "Input Device" from "Hardware Category" and click "Submit"

Should that matter? I was under the impression that source-based packages
work for pretty much every flavor. Unless you're talking about binary-
only?
