Maybe you can take a look how www.random.org generates random numbers (sampling a microphone LSB of street noise basically). Maybe you use some radio antenna on some frequency where no station sends and sample LSB slowly, or get some radioactivitiy detector. The conventional way of rolling a dice (or many for many times) can be used also, it's no joke, there are people who dice out payment security keys. > Then...

Well, if the system activity is too low, install doom or whatever and play a little or watch some VideoCDs, whatever. Maybe compile something in the background, shouldn't be too difficult to generate some load. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es tr�gt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
