it's purports to be an open source free tracking software for laptops. basically, you install their client. the client runs and reports to central server the location of your laptop when connected to the net. sounds scary i know.. but it's open source and though early i could not find any bad reviews. the reason i ask is because i am travelling at the moment and cannot afford for this install to BSOD my carefully tuned system while i am on the road. anyone try it with success? any thoughts about how this seems like a rootkit?
thanks!

I'll bump this for you 
I tried to install it but the following error came up while doing sudo make install:
/home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:17:26: error: openssl/rand.h: No such file or directory /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:18:25: error: openssl/evp.h: No such file or directory /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:19:25: error: openssl/err.h: No such file or directory /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c: In function ‘get_random_bytes’: /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:245: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘RAND_bytes’ /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c: In function ‘pwdprompt_loop’: /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:581: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘EVP_read_pw_string’ /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:584: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘ERR_get_error_line_data’ /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:585: error: ‘ERR_TXT_STRING’ undeclared (first use in this function) /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:585: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.c:585: error: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [/home/user/temp/adeona/common/util.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/temp/adeona' Could not build Adeona programs. make: *** [install] Error 1
I have the openssl installed. what do I do now?
here's my sources.list
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free deb http://dccamirror.xandros.com/dccri/ dccri-3.0 main deb http://www.geekconnection.org/ xandros4 main deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/eeepcrepos/ p701 main etch
this is a 4G 701 running default eeepc xandros distro

thanks vajorie!
though not really quite proficient in linux, i would guess that some of first errors you are receiving have to do with the install not finding the location of your openssl install. if you go here, you will find available OPTIONS during the install: http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/documents.html
for example, there is this:
------
To view the arguments and options for the Adeona retrieval program, run the following command:
ADEONADIR=/usr/local/adeona
$ADEONADIR/adeona-retrieve.exe -h
For example, the command below will retrieve the most recent location given the encrypted location-finding credential file /path/to/your/adeona-retrievecredentials.ost
$ADEONADIR/adeona-retrieve.exe -r $ADEONADIR/resources/ -l /path/to/results/ -s /path/to/your/adeona-retrievecredentials.ost -n 1
-----
hopefully, you will find an option for localizing your openssl install, then the subsequent errors will magically disappear
thanks!

Make sure you have run
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
and
sudo apt-get install build-essential
before trying to build the project... sounds like you have openssl installed and its looking for some of the dev libraries.

thanks a lot - libssl-dev solved it.
ps. I didn't do a reboot yet, but it seems to work ok.

now I find it did not start when I rebooted eeepc even though it has the cron entry... the cron entry starts with @reboot. any ideas?

the cron entry did not work for me.
What I did (with the help of http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:startupscript ):
1.
Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T in Easy Mode).
2.
If /home/user/.icewm does not exist, create it. (check for it by “ls -a /home/user”; create it with “mkdir /home/user/.icewm)
3.
In that folder, create a file called startup (“touch startup”).
4.
Make it executable now, before you forget (“chmod 0755 startup”).
5.
Edit it and insert your commands, ensuring that the 1st line is ”#!/bin/sh” (“nano /home/user/.icewm/startup”)
the content of the file "startup" is:
#!/bin/sh sudo /usr/local/adeona/adeona-client.exe -s /usr/local/adeona/adeona-clientstate.cst -r /usr/local/adeona/resources/ -l /usr/local/adeona/logs/ &
6.
Now, make a copy of /usr/bin/startsimple.sh (“sudo cp /usr/bin/startsimple.sh /usr/bin/startsimple.sh.orig”)
7.
Open the file with nano editor in super-user mode (“sudo nano /usr/bin/startsimple.sh”)
8.
Look for the following line: ”/opt/xandros/bin/AsusLauncher &”
9.
Insert the following code just above it, then save and reboot.
if [ -x /home/user/.icewm/startup ]; then #we have a start up file to execute /home/user/.icewm/startup & fi
it works now.
IMPRTANT NOTE:
test your startup script first! run
/home/user/.icewm/startup
if it doesn't work, you might screw up the desktop and use the f9 recovery / reinstall feature... i did "sudo bla bla" in my startup file because I don't have a passwd set up for eee pc (yes, insecure, I know, I hate it too, but the last time I tried to set up a passwd I ended up with f9 + all services are turned off)
