Doug, I'm using SuSE 9.0. Nope, the Logitech cameras aren't "suppose" to work on Linux. A multi-step but easy process is involved in setting up the camera. The biggest issue is getting the OS to recognize when the USB device has been plugged in, installing the driver and software was really easy (and well documented). This type of camera does not work with Gnomemeeting as Jesse mentioned, although I wish it did. I use if for taking still pictures and uploading them to a web server via FTP as a pseudo webcam, it does not do streaming, nor audio (even though the camera has a built-in mic). You can see a supported list of Philips cameras here: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ cS _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
