I am working on this very project. How I got started was
http://www.google.com/search?q=Linux+webcam&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
Google should always be your first step.
Since I am using an NFS mounted Debian boot, I found
http://www.aboutdebian.com/webcam.htm
helpful, as was
http://www.exploits.org/v4l/
and I am playing with
http://gspy.sourceforge.net/
Since I don't know your end application, nor your camera type, I can
only guess as to what you really want. (For example, to you want
real-time streaming vidio or occasional screen captures? Do you want
to keep a copy of the imagery or are you just viewing? Do you want
some kind of motion detection? Do you already have your cameras? Do
you already have your application selected? THis could go on for some
time...
You might consider reading
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html)
The general process is;
- Select a application that provides the features you want.
- Select a camera that provides the features you want at the price you
want and has driver support for the application you want.
- Install camera & driver.
- setup application software.
- setup server.
- Have beer and enjoy the pretty pictures.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but since I don't know your desired
end result , I can't be more specific.

You won't need to do much in programming, as this could mostly be done
with off the shelf software.
Good luck.
