[AG-TECH] Video cam advice for XP/linux laptop

[Michael Daw]

Dear all,

I'm about to configure a laptop to be a PIG-like machine and I need to buy a
camera. I'm going to make the laptop dual boot WinXP and Linux.

I liked the look of those Kritter cams, but it seems they don't work under
Linux
(http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/web-mail-archive/lists/ag-tech/2002/06/msg00125
.html). Has anyone got any recommendation for a similar thing that has good
quality video and works under both OS's? The e-mail at the link above lists
quite a few cameras, but I'd be interested in personal
recommendations/advice on models.

--Mike
