Prey is a piece of anti-theft software which can come handy in the unlikely event that someone snags your device, whether it be a computer, tablet or phone. This post is targeted towards those who just want to get Prey up and running on Ubuntu.
You may also need to operate Prey under a dual boot configuration such that all operating systems (for obvious reasons) are running Prey under a single device in your control panel. Operating under a single device can be necessary if you are someone who owns up to three devices and are using Prey without a subscription; it also makes managing missing devices easier as well. This post will assume you have the other operating system(s), such as Windows, already operating Prey successfully under a single device in your control panel.
