Q&A: What lightweight Linux wipes a hard drive clean when it installs so that the PC can start fresh?

Question by Travis: What lightweight Linux wipes a hard drive clean when it installs so that the PC can start fresh?
Hello! I was given an old Gateway 300 CEL and it is so terribly slow. The computer use to work great but those days are long gone. Gateway no longer has any Recovery programs available online for this model to give it a new start, so I want to install a lightweight Linux that will wipe the hard drive clean so that it can begin anew. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
