thank you in advance

It shouldn't matter which linux distribution you use; if there is a driver for your webcam, it will work on your distribution (whether your distribution makes it easy to install is another matter). So, that said, do you have a webcam already? Or are you after guidance on which of webcam you should get?

Either way I guess, check out http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html. This is a list of webcams supported (or in testing) by the gspca driver. There are surely other drivers around, but I have no experience with them. More information on what your situation is may help us help you a bit more.
