On a related note, are there any packages in Debian that provide
stolen-laptop tracking functionality like Computrace
(http://www.computrace.com/)?
I could envision a program that sends information about its local
network to a predetermined location every time it connects to the
network. A more elaborate solution might involve hacking a DHCP client
(and a network stack) into Grub or Lilo so that the program could be
run as soon as the laptop was switched on.
