 I think the Logitech Quickcam is the general answer to that question. I
 think the cheap one is around 30-40US, though.

Yup, works like a champ.  Had to go get the driver, but once I did, it just 
stood up.  And it doesn't look TOO bad, either.  It's not TV quality, but it 
is good enough.

Thanx,

I just gotten a very inexpensive webcam to work. It's a no-brand USD15
webcam using the gspcav1 driver.

I think this is the one.

Since you guys are talking about webcams on Linux, I'd like to know if
anyone has ever tried the Creative Live! Cam Voice on Linux, or at
least knows if it's possible to use it. I'd like to be able to use it
at least on Linux, since it doesn't have stable drivers for Win Vista
and I'm not willing to install the beta version yet (too much data I
can't afford to lose right now). Since I bought my new laptop, my cam
is sitting in my desk drawer, and it was way too expensive to remain
this way.

Thanks!

Cool.  I'm anxious to try it out.  Thanx again.

I have a Logitech Quickcam and it is fully supported. I spent 20 € for
it. I use it routinely with aMSN. Very cheap stuff however -the iSight
on my Macbook Pro beats it hands down, however it is not so fully
supported :( .
