One more thing. Test the correctness/responsiveness of the various
random devices. First post the output of:
$ ls -lL /dev/*random
# This one should be fast
$ time dd if=/dev/urandom bs=32b count=1 of=/dev/null
# This one might be *extremely* slow, you might not be willing
# to wait that long...
$ time dd if=/dev/random bs=32b count=1 of=/dev/null
... for any other "*random" devices.
