Members,

I'm relatively new to Linux (five year), self-taught, and have had no experience on the administration side of the craft. This item caught my attention today. Most likely, you professionals out there already know of this, or other tools like it.

I just thought that, with your commitment to build machines for people, some of the hard drives might be previously used and a secure deletion of the files previously on them might be in order.

The article is at NewsForge.com

but the link to the site is this:

If this is well-known to you all, please forgive the enthusiasm of a newcomer.

Bill
