Wiping donated computers for recycling question

[Belinda Lopez]

Hi all,
   I'm writing up a short guide for recycling computers with 
Ubuntu/Edubuntu so they can be donated and reused.  One of the questions 
I have is:  Does the standard installation process where one selects 
'Use entire disk' do a good enough job of wiping the hard drive of any 
prior data?

Given that most of these systems will be used in schools or by kids, 
these organisations want to avoid any possibility that any old data 
might be left on the systems.

thanks all!
