[PLUG] KDE deletion

["Mike Cathcart" <mike_cathcart@hotmail.com>]

Speaking of desktop environments, I noticed last night that Konqueror, the 
KDE file manager, gives you three deletion options when you right click on a 
file. The first two are Delete and Trash, which I guess are pretty 
self-explanatory, but the third is shred, which seems to be similar to the 
wipe program that was mentioned at the last meeting. I shredded a 6MB file 
and it took about 2 or 3 minutes. As it was shredding a progress bar was 
displayed. The progress bar popup also displayed a line of text that said 
'Pass x of 35', so I'm assuming that it overwrites the file 35 times. Just 
thought you might be interested.
