Personally, I would go for a net-cam.  That is, a cam that will do it's own 
upload via ftp of the pictures it takes.   I have two of them, a Star-Dot 
Tech  Cam   and an Axis 2100.   Both have worked flawlessly over the past 
several years and with nary a thought to the OS being used.

All you have to do is to set up ftp on your system.
