No idea where you live at but the logitec 240 webcam is a direct plug and play under CentOS. Nothing to configure. No rebooting to get it to work either. Works directly with Skype also. WalMart has them for sure.

The Wiki has a webcams page:

If your webcam isn't natively supported, ELRepo.org has an updated video4linux drivers package that supports hundreds of devices:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-video4linux
Hope that helps.

Search for 'gspca' in the RPMForge repo.
Yep. We use it here at work. It's part, I think, of video4linux (given that I see v4l modules on the servers that have it).

I'm interested in setting up a webcam, but have _zero_ experience. (I'm just continuing this thread - I hope that I'm not hijacking it!)
Does 'plug and play' here mean that I wouldn't need extra software to stream the video & audio to a remote box (which also has CentOS), and that the remote knows what to do with the stream?
Either way, what utilities or services are used? Or, are there websites to explain this stuff?
I read the wiki page - nothing there to help the absolute newby.
No it does not in that sense.. Please start another thread on that...
