[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and     ]
[ Unix-related topics. Posts from non-subscribed addresses will vanish. ]

good article,

but the paragraph on 'Hygiene' states
"Understand that deleting is nothing; to get rid of a file you have to 
wipe it. "
?? rm -f blah seems to be pretty effective and destructive to me ?

I'm guessing the reference to 'wipe' must refer to a  SUSE gui utility?
