Managing my gadget life without Windows

Having decided to ditch my expensive and bloated M$ Vista operating system I slowly realised how many of gadgets still need to be managed through Windoze applications. Where possible I have strived to maintain my gadgets using linux

Devices that happily play under linux
  • HP Photosmart C6380 Printer/Scanner as discussed here
  • Sony Reader ebook Reader

Devices that I manage inside a virtual machine running XP
  • iPod
  • Tom Tom

Free Laptop location tracking software

Prey Project have released an updated version of their laptop tracking software that works on Linux, Windows and OSX.

New with version 0.3 is a web hosted control panel that allows you to remotely enable tracking for up to three computers. Once the device is flagged as missing, a screenshot and webcam capture of the culprit will be sent to you at pre-determined intervals.

This is a brilliant service, and I will be following the development of this as new modules will be released to perform actions on your stolen device remotely such as clearing sensitive data or changing the desktop background to say that the device is stolen.
