I had problems with it.  It would hang at the PCI (sysfs) detection.  To get DBAN to successfully boot, I had to disable the SD media card reader.

Version tested: Darik’s Boot and Nuke 2.2.6 (Beta)

Plus points:

• it’s free!

Things I didn’t like:

• having to disable the SD media card reader in BIOS.
• the estimated time is wildly inaccurate.
  Initial estimate 2hrs, actual time taken: 3hrs 17min

Test notes:

• Ran in “autonuke” mode.
  (DoD Short method, 3 pass and then verify on last wipe)
• Apparently there is a USB installer, like the one the Active@ Killdisk product has.
  Couldn’t find it.
