[TriLUG] [OT] disk wiping software

[Jack Hill]

I would recommend DBAN. http://www.dban.org/

I've used it in a computer refurbishment/donation operation with great 
success.

I'm not sure what the requirements are for warranties when dealing with 
health information. I'm pretty sure DBAN comes with the standard 
disclaimer, but maybe you can by a warranty from somewhere.

I would like some recommendations of disk wiping software that could do this.  I do not mind paying for this if the product is really good.  I would prefer something bootable to be able to wipe the OS and all data on the drives.
