iMacs I will need a glass puller, etc..
I use ordinary cheap sticky duct tape. All the tape or pullers do is overpower
magnets that hold the glass in place. Suction cup pullers are cheap and less messy
than cleaning tape residue from glass.
Booting Knoppix & openSUSE on my 2007 iMac is little bigger deal than on an
ordinary PC, mostly just different startup keystrokes instead of F11, F12 or
whatever to boot from USB instead of internal HD. The fun part is never knowing
which Grub from which Linux installation is going to provide the menu for any
particular HD boot. Mac firmware likes vexing Linux users by playing puzzling
games that drive many to use various alternatives to Grub.
Newer Macs can reinstall MacOS directly off the internet after a drive replacement
or wipe. This probably means simply wiping a partition table wouldn't be enough
for real protection against data recovery, so don't bet anything less than a full
wipe is nearly as good as drive removal.
I have used that BIOS reinstall several times
on corrupted Macs. It never worked.
