Seriously, on my win laptop I downloaded driver - installed rebooted- plugged in camera and took photos and captured video.  In Linux I had to read posts - fail at first few attempts to get driver working, compile fom source sheesh ! Then try to figure out software that works!

Sorry John, I sold that 1 that I had. I didn't have to recompile any 
drivers for that cam either, I do remember some tricks I had to do with 
it but they were pretty simple. According to info found at 
http://www.gnomemeeting.org (now called ekiga) ,it is compatible with 
Windows Messenger, Netmeeting, SJPhone, Eyebeam, X-Lite, ... or also the 
Asterisk popular IPBX, as well as any other commercial or Open Source 
IPBX. I have had gnomemeeting working with netmeeting, it worked well 
unless you had a router on one end or both, if it was on one end, it was 
a matter of who called who. You could also run vmplayer (now free!) on 
either end. If it is easier for you, run vmplayer on your Linux box and 
then just use whatever app she wants to use. Vmplayer now works great 
with usb devices, at the click of a check box in your vmplayer settings, 
it will release whatever device you've checked from Linux and allow 
windows to use it.
