    I am selling my Aspire One, 8 GB SSD, and am wondering what is the the best way to get rid of all private data?
    I can handle the the bookmarks in FireFox and delete the mail accounts, but are there passwords etc stored someone where with in the Linux system that need to be erased before letting go?

    Use the Recovery DVD that was included with your Aspire One A110, to reinstall the Linpus OS. It will restore it back to factory conditions, and in the process format and repartition the SSD.
