[NBLUG/talk] Webcam for Linux

[Dean A. Roman]

I have had good luck with the logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 (I belive it 
has a built in Mic as well).  I can't speak for it working with Skype, 
but it seems to work very well with GnomeMeeting and RHEL WS 4.
The main downfall is the price...it seems to be hovering around $80-$100.

Thanks,
    ---Dean.
