just posting this here in case anyone wants it
i may at some point toss it on bugzilla, but putting it here because I'd otherwise forget about it
Software homepage: http://preyproject.com/
They also have a semi-complete web control panel similar to what they use if you do the "non-standalone" version, over on github: https://github.com/prey/standalone-control-panel
Not going to write an ebuild for that, largely, because a)I generally don't like using portage to install webapps, b)given that I have no interest in e.g. webapp-config as a *user*, I have even less interest in writing an ebuild that uses it
at any rate, here goes
prey-0.5.3.ebuild (i put it in app-admin)

If you want to just wget the stuff, you can do so here: http://whitehathouston.com/downloads/gentoo/ebuilds/prey/app-admin/prey/
(NB: if years in the future someone finds this, and the above link is dead, it means either I'm dead, or I can't afford my electric/DNS/internet/anyoftheaforementioned bill.)
hope this helps someone. Not sure I'll check on this thread after today, so if anyone changes the ebuild, i doubt I'll see it. And, installing/configuring the thing is up to you!
I wrote this thinking I'd use it, before realizing crypto on my laptops means no data loss, and, my laptops are so damn cheap and shoddy if they were stolen I wouldn't bother retrieving them. I plan on using it on my mobile devices, but it has no use on my linux desktops/laptops. Maybe it does for yours, so I share!
