Hi all,

The subject is auto-descriptive ;)
After reading a while about wiping [1] I think there's not a unique way to do it. Finally I've chosen a simple double-step method:

First,

$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=<disk_to_delete>

and next

$ dd if=/deb/zero of=<disk_to_delete>

?Do you think is it safe enough? I mean ?is it enough against the common recovery low-level data tools?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
