Plug and Play Linux Webcam
Based on this review I bought a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. I ignored all the red tape and “Run The Installer First!” warnings on the packaging, and plugged it in to my Ubuntu 8.04 laptop. And it worked immediately. Yay! Skype, Cheese, both work. Video sharing via Flash (like for Dimdim) doesn’t work, so no extra credit, yet. :)
