Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can boot off the DBAN disc,
start the wipe process, then eject the disc and use it on the next
system. Nice if you have a bunch to wipe at the same time.

If DBAN can't do that, then look at System Rescue CD (sysresccd.org).
You can boot that into RAM, then use dd or shred to wipe the drives.
