This is a great concept but can you be more detailed, some screen shots maybe? does it have a GUI? etc.
I read the wiki but it doesn't say how to manually install.
Thanks

Basically an anti-theft solution.
For manual install all you need are the dependencies and all the contents from maemoprey (a bunch of folders called core, modules etc.) copied to /usr/share/prey/
Then you need to make it run under fcron.
That is all you need to do.
EDIT: Added guide for manual installation

Hmmm...
What are its advantages in front of SMSCON? I know SMSCON is activated via SMS and Prey is activated via Internet, but... Any feature wich is better/ doesn't have SMSCON nowadays?

The awesome thing about Prey is that it's available for laptops, tablets and desktop PCs as well.
The control panel is therefore neat, since you can manage all of your profiles from one single site.

Ha ha, you may want to change the topic to Prey (anti-theft) for N900. I thought you were talking about the game called Prey, and was like "what? the N900 can play that? Now I AM in pressed!"
This is still very cool. Will have to give it a try, I haven't ever used SMSCON either.

I'll try it, marcus. I've been wondering why I didn't saw Prey in Maemo when the porting to Maemo shouldn't be so difficult basing it in the Linux one.
Thanks a lot!

Hides emails and deletes browser cookies and stored passwords for all acounts on your computer, preventing access from unauthorized users. Do not enable unless you REALLY want to.
Since I've never messed with .deb packages (I'm using Arch Linux), I've never learned how to do it.
When I get the time I'll figure out how to do it.

I've lately messed with Prey to make it work at my N900 and it's basically working now.
It is recommended to manually install Prey, so look at the instructions on the wiki.
The INSTALLER.sh within the folder is an automated installer, which should hopefully work. If not, please help me fix it.
There are some dependencies that I've might left out, so report those as well.
If you got any questions or improvements to the INSTALLER.sh script etc., please do tell me.
EDIT: Haven't tried using it via cell phone connection, so I don't know at this point if that works.
EDIT2: Please note that all features aren't working at the moment. Haven't had time to fix them yet.
