All:
Sorry if this is wrong forum as this could probably be in s/w section.
My situation is as follows:
* I'm ready to sell my old computer off -- everything, monitor, UPS, speakers, the whole deal as I'm moving abroad
* My computer has sensitive data along with software that I don't wish to sell. Basically I want to remove everything from my hard disk and sell it.
I have 2 options here:
1) Show potential buyer all the hardware reports (PC Wizard), let him fiddle around to make sure everything is working and then use something like DBAN.
2) Format my hard disk and then prepare a fresh linux installation. But is there some good small distro that I can use here? I need some distro that has basically some hardware report like PC Wizard
I would prefer option # 2 as I don't want to sit and wipe data in front of my buyer
Thanks in advance
