[Gllug] Thoughts on secondhand server guide price

[John Hearns]

Chaps and Chapesses,
  please stop giving out advice which you haven't put into practice
yourselves.

I had occasion recently to securely delete a hard drive formatted with Linux
filesystems, and
did a little bit of research on this.

You should use the 'scrub' tool to do this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/diskscrub

or as someone suggests 'wipe' http://wipe.sourceforge.net/

If you Google there will be bootable CD/USB distros which do this.
