Dear Mr M. Preston,

Thank you for reaching us at Creative Technical Support; we appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

I'm sorry to inform you that Creative Webcams do not work with Linux OS. You need change your OS as windows to use our cameras.

If you still require assistance, please reply to this email with any previous correspondence to ensure the quickest and most accurate service.

Best Regards,

That sucks.
Yet there is another forum thread (Creative offer a webcam that support Linux ! (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1297975)) that is talking about a Creative product which lists on the side of compatible systems "Linux Kernel 2.6"!
