I know a fair amount about the topic and the above seems overly pessimistic to me about the success of userspace induced wiping.
Lubos, if you're knowledgeable about the topic, would you either respond to my post on this thread from yesterday:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.general/293911/
Or point me at a discussion on a kde list where they discussed it.
I don't know much about the topic other than http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/shred_and_secure_delete_tools_wi... or various other google hits for "kde shred removed". -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
