[Deaf-lug] Web Cam on Ubuntu 8.10

[Dafydd Eveleigh]

I don' t use it for much.

I have set up motion so I can see what my dog gets up to during the  
day just for a laugh.

But also I use it to play around with ffmpeg, and you'll never know  
when it might be useful.

I am looking to set up ekgia phone at somepoint.

Basically it is not essential but a nice tool to have in my box as  
you'll never know when you'll need it :-)
