Ha. I really wish I had an answer for you here. It depends on the camera and if it has Linux drivers available. I hear that many of the "just plug them in and they work without drivers" cameras work in Linux. Check out this article... it has a few links that may help and in the comments there is a link to a camera for ubuntu.http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/peripherals/8205-configuring-your-webcam-to-work-under-linux
