if you can get your camera supported via video4linux then you
can use gnomemeeting etc.

if its just usb-storage, youll just have to save to .mov or whatever
and move it across.

chances are if you cant use it as a webcam in windows you can in
linux either.

i havent had good experiences with gnome-meeting. although
i was running it in the most obscure configuration concievable
(running on an imac (running debian), using the quickcam express
(dodgy driver even on i386 - youll note quickcam express's
dont work on macs other than in linux though), and i was
connecting to a windows me machine using netmeeting with
the worst webcam ever (courtesy of samsung))

YYMV - infact it definately will. im sure gnomemeeting
is solid as a rock when its not being put to such unreasonable
tests.
