Hi,

this is a little bit OT, so please ask such questions in irc-channels or 
  other forums please.

a quick "apt-cache show wipe" (on woody) brings up this:


Package: wipe
Priority: extra
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 124
Maintainer: Thomas Schoepf <schoepf@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.16-8
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
Filename: pool/main/w/wipe/wipe_0.16-8_i386.deb
Size: 30586
MD5sum: c294c13d07feeaee895539499af787fa
Description: Secure file deletion
  Recovery of supposedly erased data from magnetic media is easier than what
  many people would like to believe. A technique called Magnetic Force
  Microscopy (MFM) allows any moderately funded opponent to recover the last
  two or three layers of data written to disk. Wipe repeatedly writes 
special
  patterns to the files to be destroyed, using the fsync() call and/or the
  O_SYNC bit to force disk access.

p.s.: thats the biggest reason why i just love debian :)
