Hello, Like the subject says, this pertains to data security, but not just on linux/bsd/*nix. What I'd like to know is if anyone has a tool they prefer for wiping hard drives in workstations. As we grow/upgrade systems, we frequently have old systems we'd like to get rid of, but data security is a concern. I would like to leave systems "usable" (ie not destroy or remove the hard drive) but clean. Ideally, we're talking about a bootable CD that has a utility that will format/overwrite/reformat/overwrite drives to a point where there is a reasonable expectation that data that was on the drive won't be able to be retrieved. So - favorites, recommendations? Input on this being a pointless task because data can always be recovered? Thanks for the input.
