Hi all,
At the Freedombox workshop at CCC there was a discussion about hardware
random number generators. One of the possibilities that was suggested
was to use the soundcard (or a cheap USB sound device) as a source of
randomness. I've just found out that this is mentioned in RFC 1750 [1],
so it'

You could "apt-get install randomsound" on your own machine (or with a
USB device you think might be an option), aud

Thanks, I didn't realise. Seems like the section on using existing
sound/video input is unchanged.

Hi Folks--
Frank from debian-nas.org wrote me off-list about entropy daemons,
and agreed i could share his notes publicly.
