    So, I'm looking for a webcam, and don't want to break the bank on it (not yet sure that I'll really be using it all that often. The one issue is that I'd like it to be linux compatible, but, as I am dual booting, if there is a really great deal on one that isn't I guess I could just use Windows whenever I want to use the webcam. I will throw in the caveat that I'm somewhat technologically impaired, so simple is better. I'd love to know if anyone has suggestions, thanks!

    Most of the Logitech QuickCams will work fine in Linux
