The new GParted LiveCD (v0.4.1-2) allows booting into a RAM disk so you can eject the CD and shred other servers with it while the first server is still doing long-running shred commands. Very cool!
For those who don’t know about it, GParted is a GPL (free and open source) software suite that allows re-partitioning of hard drives for Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Windows, Solaris, Irix, and AIX. It all fits on a LiveCD or USB, and works beautifully for re-configuring boot partitions or securely erasing many disk drives.
