   "ShredOS is a USB bootable (BIOS or UEFI) small linux distribution with the   
   sole purpose of securely erasing the entire contents of your disks using the   
   program nwipe.   
   If you are familiar with dwipe from DBAN then you will feel right at home with   
   ShredOS and nwipe.   
   What are the advantages of nwipe over dwipe/DBAN?   
   Well as everybody probably knows, DBAN development stopped in 2015 which means   
   it has not received any further bug fixes or support for new hardware since   
   that date.   
   Nwipe originally was a fork of dwipe but has continued to have improvements   
   and bug fixes and is now available in many Linux distros.   
   ShredOS hopefully will always provide the latest nwipe on a up to date Linux   
   kernel so it will support modern hardware.   
      
   ShredOS supports either 32bit or 64bit processors.   
   You will need to download the appropriate 64bit or 32bit .img or .iso file,   
   depending upon your target processor and whether you want to burn ShredOS to a   
   USB memory stick, in which case you would download the .img file.   
   Alternatively, if you wanted to burn ShredOS to CD/DVD, then you would   
   download the .iso file."
