Best is to look for a good deal on a Logitech webcam then go to the Logitech site and see if it is one of their UVC (USB Video Class) standard webcams which are fully supported in Linux http://www.quickcamteam.net/devices I did see a report that someone had done a lot of fantastic work to get other types of webcams supported, but I would stick to UVC.
