[olug] Drive wipe tool

Take them a part for the refrigerator magnets inside.

Then remove the platters and use an industrial food filter magnet on the
platters.
Then make Christmas tree ornaments out of the platters.

Subject: [olug] Drive wipe tool

With the recycling event coming up, I am getting questions on how to wipe a
drive BEFORE bringing it in.  I am looking for recommendations for a
bootable CD that "grandma" could use to wipe the drive.  Any ideas right off
the top of your heads?  
This does NOT need to be a DOD wipe, just to keep stuff from prying eyes.
 
I know that the ultimate boot CD is my first option with instructions on how
to get to the HD wipe tools.
 
Thanx everyone!!
