    Hi all!

    Does anyone have any recommendations as to what webcam
    to use for videoconferencing under Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge)?

    I have been reading here and there on the subject, but I haven't found
    an obvious candidate yet. It seems that the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000
    is
    one of the better supported ones, but now the driver is no longer
    actively
    maintained due to some conflict with the kernel developers?

    I intend to use the webcam with gnomemeeting (or similar, maybe from
    open323.org),
    to connect with my family on their laptop running WinXP, don't know yet
    what client.

    Budget is of course an issue. Luckily, I can get some hardware cheap
    through a friend.

    I am not currently subscribing to the mailing list, but scan the
    archives for
    any and all responses. Feel free to mail me with your suggestions,
    though.

    Thanks for all your help!

    best regards,
