Hello, This question came up a while ago and "abrotman" on #debian just gave a nice answer so I'm passing it on.
Q: You are giving up a computer and would like to erase all data on it. Howto? A: (courtesy dpkg bot on #debian on irc.debian.org and abrotman) extra, extra, read all about it, dban is http://www.dban.org/ Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy/CD that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction. Regards, Kapil. -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
