Gonna have to get rid of a laptop and I was wondering if there is anything out better than DBAN to securely erase everything, or is it the best? Thanks!
Darik's Boot & Nuke is the best did my 40 GB Harddrive DoD Time 4 Hours be all you need

Darik's Boot and Nuke: Quick Commands
?????????????????????????????????????
You may enter these commands at the boot prompt. In each case, all disks in
the computer will be wiped automatically without confirmation.
dod Wipe all disks with the DoD 5220.22-M method.
dodshort Wipe all disks with the short DoD 5220.22-M method. (Default.)
ops2 Wipe all disks with the RCMP TSSIT OPS-II method.
gutmann Wipe all disks with the Gutmann method.
prng Wipe all disks with the PRNG Stream method.
quick Wipe all disks with the Quick Erase method.
Edit the 1fsyslinux.cfg17 file on the floppy disk to change the default
behavior of DBAN. Changing the syslinux.cfg file in the CD-R/CD-RW version of
DBAN requires remastering the ISO file.
Most people should use autonuke because the defaults for autonuke will always
be safe and sensible.
