IBM Net Web Cam


I was thinking about picking up this camera, it's USB and I can get it for 5 bucks. Just thought i'd make a quick post while i continue helping on the boards...

Is this camera have linux support? Would like to post images every x secs to a page so i can monitor bedroom status while im away. be all 007 n sh!t

I've never used a web cam before, let a lone any other device other then Digital Camera via Gphoto so i have NO idea how to set one of things up. Is it pretty simple? worth a $5 investment? =)

Got any more info on the cam?
If it uses a CPiA chip then it will work ok.
