Hi. As I am in the process of moving completely from xp to Ubuntu Linux I wondered if there is a Linux alternative for my windows file shredder software ( which will overwrite files several times to make them unrecoverable). as I have been stumped on replacing this program which I value greatly as a security item.
Thanks Barry

GPG offers gives you "kgpg -X %u" (if you install Kgpg....).
/But/ I recall reading somewhere that no file shredder will completely obliterate your files if you are using a journaling FS such as ext3. Modern disk forensics may allow a skilled operator to recover your "deleted" data.
