I have our company's source code on the drive. Is there a simple command I can run to make sure that the data on the drive after I delete the source code dir is completely gone? For Dos and Windows FS's there are several programs that promise to write eeeeeee...all over the disk, but I'm not sure that you can do that in Linux. Someone will know. . . .
Actually if you have a desktop installation and are running KDE, when you first run KGPG (KDE Gnu Privacy Guard) it gives you the option to put a more thorough shredder on the desktop, a shredder which apparently overwrites the data so many times. Cheers, Charles http://members.porchlight.ca/charm
