Hallo

Having recently migrated from Windows to Ubuntu, I wanted to install a program equivalent to Erase which allows one to securely wipe files using the context menu. I have searched the normal Ubuntu repositories (Applications -> Add/remove). Searching with keywords Erase, Wipe, Nuke etc did not bring any hits.

Does anyone know if there is a Linux equivalent and if so would be so kind as to supply a link.

Thanks in advance
