Din drivers/char/random.c :

  * [...] /dev/random is suitable for use when very high
  * quality randomness is desired (for example, for key generation or
  * one-time pads), as it will only return a maximum of the number of
  * bits of randomness (as estimated by the random number generator)
  * contained in the entropy pool.
  *
  * The /dev/urandom device does not have this limit, and will return
  * as many bytes as are requested.  As more and more random bytes are
  * requested without giving time for the entropy pool to recharge,
  * this will result in random numbers that are merely cryptographically
  * strong.  For many applications, however, this is acceptable.

Incearca ceva de genul
        dd bs=1 if=/dev/random | od

O sa vezi ca la un moment dat se opreste sau incetineste. Incearca sa 
misti mouse-ul sau sa folosesti tastatura :-)

/dev/random folosete, pe langa altele, tastatura si mouse-ul ca input in 
"entropy pool".
