After spending a while trying to get my webcam working on Suse 9.1 (I did
get it working, problem was the quality was awful!), I decided its probably
easier to buy a replacement camera.

Now I was wondering if anyone could suggest a possible replacement camera
which would work nicely under Linux?

My Philips  Toucam should, and I expect will, when I learn the correct 
incantation or one of the people taking over the project gets to that bit.
It was v nice on SuSE 9.0

I'm actually inclined to look at network cameras, IE those that have an 
Ethernet connection whether wired or wireless, and that have a minimal 
webserver included.

The hassle of using a general purpose computer for serious imaging may not be 
worth it.

Open Source is a necessary but not of itself sufficient condition.
