web cams for linux operating system

[miramichier]

Greeting`s,
 I would like to know if there is a web cam available for a computer running Linux-X86_64 Peppermint version, my computer is a HP compag(an oldie but a goodie) the reason Iam asking is that all the web cams that i see here ( Miramichi NB Canada) are for windows, so any help would be great.
 Thank`s,
 Miramichier

The Linux-UVC project maintains a list of compatible webcams:

Linux-UVC is supported on Ubuntu (Peppermint is based on Lubuntu, so it should also support Linux-UVC). There is a Ubuntu Wiki about it here:

hope this helps
