I'm running a Philips webcam (645 I think?). I use vgrabbj to take

Jens (author) has put together a .deb package, awaiting approval to be
included in Debian. ;)
I also have found XawTV works producing a live video image from the
camera.
You will find more software listed at the following site. Which is
