[Cooker] Offtopic - Webcams

[Giles Hamlin]

Hi

Know this isn't strictly the right place to ask this, but I figured 
there would be a lot of souls in the know on this list :-)

I  am really quite tempted to grab a USB webcam from Electronics 
Boutique for £20. What chance wouuld I have of getting this to run in 
Linux? It's not a well-known name, and my instincts are that if it's not 
a large manufacturer, then I am gonna have problems using it with Linux.

Anyone have any information about how well Linux supports webcams?

Thanks

Giles
