If you're serious about wanting some stolen laptop protection for
Linux, I've used Prey for about 3 years.

That's not a ringing endorsement, since the laptops I use it on have
not been stolen. I can only say that it hasn't gotten in my way, and
that one of the computers goes for quite some time without being used
and Prey occasionally notifies me "Hey, I haven't seen laptop
so-and-so in a while... Do you know where your children are?"
