Is your camera working locally? is it on? Can you get a display from it? What local program do you use to test it? How do you set it up to transmit? These are the beginning questions you must answer. You've shares almost no information about your problem. Tell us about your hardware.

What version of PCLinuxOS are you using? Is it fully updated through synaptic?
Those questions are also important.. Some bugs might have been fixed
Office required Windows XP or better, so I installed PCLinuxOS :D
