Nickel! The webcam works with Linux! (Distro Mandriva Linux 2008 Powerpack) after USB connection, no need to install module / drivers, webcam using a protocol like "UVC" and this being standard, the webcam is immediately functional. An "eye patch" very functional design allows the webcam opturer sensor. a green LED lights up when starting an application that uses the webcam and off leaving the app. A kind of articulated arm (and a ball) you can customize the angle of the webcam to rest on the screen (or other media). Coté quality video (linux still) is correct (and probably very good for a webcam), but it's still a "web" - "cam" and not a "cam" at all. Overall an excellent product, niquel.
