Webcams that just work with Ubuntu Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The GNOME Foundation Board asked me to buy a webcam for the GNOME Events Box, 
| so we could show Cheese on our stands. This could be cool together with the 
| box’s new projector. I also wanted a webcam for my own use so Liam’s 
| grandparents can see him in motion more often. So this was an opportunity to 
| discover if any two available webcams really “just work” with Ubuntu, after 
| doing some research and guessing. The results were great.
