I'm trying to nuke a Dell Optiplex GX620. I've got a perfectly good dban
1.0.4 that I've used a bunch of times... but on this machine, it says
starting, then dies, saying "dban has finished with non-fatal errors.
Check the log for more information" It never gets to the interactive menu.

I think most consultants have one* of those in their pasts. The trick is to

its always strange to see that people want "cheap servers".
Let me tell you it will NEVER pay off.
50 people will kill a low end thing, especially if

Hi,
The language lab from the local university has contacted me. They'd like
to have a low-cost file server for storing all their language video
files. They have a mix of Windows, Mac OS X and even Linux clients,
roughly 50 machines. The files are quite big, and they calculated a
total amount
