Best Answer

Most webcams work under Linux; it would be very difficult to provide a complete list. This is because support for cameras is based on the chipset they are using, not the name of the actual manufacturer. Most cameras from Logitech, Aiptek, Kodak, Mustek, and Polaroid should work.

There is no "Linux messenger." There are several clients available for Linux, however. The most popular one, Pidgin, does not support webcams. aMSN (for Windows Live Messenger) and Kopete (for all protocols) does. Virtually all webcams are supported out of the box in the Linux kernel, so no extra work is needed, other than to use a capable client.
