    if you want to have a more randomy screwing, try with /dev/random but it might take longer, and require you to move the mouse while it does it
    And I was going to suggest this also. You could also use /dev/zero:
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

    I just wanted to do something with it, I always wanted to see sudo rm -rf / in action but it wouldn't work I dont use anything that needs to be protected on there. No important details, no protected files.

    From a live CD, use the "shred" command.

    http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_shred.htm
    Use whatever OS or desktop works for you. Dual boot or use VMs if you want. Backup your computer regularly, and definitely before upgrading, partitioning, or installing an OS.

    No support requests by PM please.
