I've long preferred the capture card/camera combo over usb cams.  They 
are rock solid and can be had for around $40 total.  My personal 
experience with usb cameras both on Linux and Windows is they are slow, 
very slow.  My wintv card and mustek camera produce tv like movement 
reproduction.  I've got a b/w philips cam attached to my garage so I 
might monitor arrivals.

I've got a quickcam which worked out of the box on SuSE 8.2.  As a 
matter of fact, I'd forgotten it was even plugged in when I did the 
upgrade.  When I started the script for my wintv card, I got the view 
from the quickcam, thus I had to modify my script.
