Stumbled across this yesterday, thought some people might
find it useful, especially when cleaningup after a workshop:

http://dban.sourceforge.net/

Darik's Boot And Nule:

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that
securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically
and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect,
which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data
destruction.

(by securely, they mean multi-pass overwrite).

It free software, and seems to support most common ATA/SCSI and RAID
controllers.
