Hello everyone, I am looking to buy a good webcam that works with Suse 9.0 or Suse 8.2. I currently have a QuickCam but the picture is really bad so I want to buy something with a higher quality picture can anyone recommend anything?

I would highly recommend a capture card/camera solution over any of the usb solutions. I've got four such configurations and they work quite well. Look for bt878 chipset. Usually Hauppauge cards, but I've found some no name ones. You can get a capture only card for around $20 US and the camera for about the same. Some of the Hauppauge Wintv cards have a tuner and an additional s-video input. You can toggle between watching your camera or watching the teli. I've got one that uses the motion package to watch my driveway so I know when someone pulls in.
