I've got the same one and works very well in Arch. Most logitech's do have drivers, but watch out for the few that don't. Mine also has a microphone in it- I haven't ever bothered to play around with it- but I installed Debian the other day and that said it knew about it. As regards programs- I have had problems all along with this - mainly because I'm stuck behind a firewall I have no control over (at uni). The camera works perfectly- the problem is getting the connection across the net. I've managed to get amsn working (it uses a 3rd party server to get around the port issue, but that makes it quite slow), but for some reason it works with some people but not others. Wierd.
