As of right now I'm going to use /dev/random. I was wondering, does aurora provide a "Live" cd build and do you recommend a process for wiping drives other than using /dev/random and /dev/zero with dd? Normally I would use DBAN but I can't find a sparc iso of DBAN. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, SAM -- SAMUEL A.
