I've just noticed that 'scrub' has been packaged for lucid (works in
karmic just fine) so you no longer have to mess with converting the rpm
to deb. I didn't initially suggest scrub as previously you needed to run
alien, convert the rpm to deb, etc., and I've no idea how familiar the
OP is with linux.

As for all the rest; I use TrueCrypt, BCWipe, shred, scrub, and a 2 lb
hammer... depending on the need :-)
