Giveaway old Dell desktops

@thecreativeone91 ehhhh yeahhhh I can see that, but random /urandom would take a long time. When I did home user stuff I'd just zero out the drive with DD if it was particularly nastied up with viruses.

It's awesome. This has 4 different level wipes including DoD and one that is even higher than that which I have never used. I also use it for imaging since we only have 3 different PC models. I can image a 500GB HD in less than 6 minutes and 500GB SSD in 1.5 minutes.

A PC with some PCIe controllers works great to use Dban on a lot of drives at the same time.

Windows... 98.

Regarding Linux Mint 17.1; I have a ASUS EEEPC that is a few years old,.. seems that 17.1 has some issues with it,.. and the CPU runs harder. There is some performance issues with this version. I might have to roll back a version or so to find one that doesn't have issues.

Older computers (or less powerful ones) seem to have better luck running ZorinOS then Linux Mint, at least in my experience.

I'll give it a look. thank you.

I did find my LinuxMint v15, and it seems to be running fine. and I might look at the other versions of 17.1,.. might be a 'lighter' version to use.

Other versions?
