hehe 
As we were talking about earlier today, this is the driver you'll need for the cam you have.
http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
They have install instructions and everything so it's pretty simple. Then you'll just need something to actually use the cam, such as xawtv. apt-get install xawtv
Then you can move the cam around, think to yourself "weeee that was neat" and then pack it up since you'll never use it again. Or well, that seems to be what everyone else does anyways  |

I bet one of these little logitech quickcams would hold up well in the outdoors if you wrap it up all good and solid with some duck tape. I think your main problem will be getting a usb cable long enough... unless of course you plan to co-locate a machine nearby  |
