Before investing in using /dev/random note it can "run out" of
numbers.  When generating, one will have to do things like move the
mouse or type.

You can see this yourself by doing:

 cat /dev/random | od 

("od" is used so you don't corrupt your terminal with all the 8 bit
chars that will be generated).
