If you're using Linux, and are concerned for your local machine's data, it
would probably be better to encrypt your partitions rather than rely on
some tool to lock the stable door.
Encrypted partitions don't suffer from the flaws of "remote wipe" software.
- no accidental wipes
- no need for the machine to be online to receive a signal
- no risk of drives being slaved to other machines
