When already booted into your Debian system, pulling up a terminal, and running the dd(1) command as root is all that you need to do. Saves you gobs, and gobs of time, and doesn't wear out the drive in the process. Further, most GNU/Linux operating systems ship with GNU Shred. So, booting off a live CD or USB, and running shred(1) in the root console is just as effective, and performant as DBan. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
