Dear Sirs
I have a Logitech C500 Webcam which I would like to use with Skype but
I have been unable to get the system to recognize the Webcam.
Do you have a set of instructions that I could follow to install the
webcam.
Thank you!

All the Logitech C Series cams should work without user intervention via
UVC. I myself just got a C200 and it works perfectly with Skype and
everything else without me having to do anything.
See:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam and
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/
See if the cam has a special device. It should be /dev/video0.
If it is, install cheese, a webcam booth program (package "cheese") and
see if it works there. It's under Sound and Video. When the webcam is
activated, on your model the orange light to the left of the lens should
light.
If this works, I don't know much else to do about Skype. Maybe see if it
didn't autodetect it for some reason and look at Video Devices in
Preferences if you haven't already...
Someone with more experience help Rob, I'm pretty inexperienced.
