     @rysiek Entropy key (http://www.entropykey.org) is really good at supplying a steady stream of entropy.

     @rysiek Maybe Entropy Key http://www.entropykey.co.uk/ ; Diego from Gentoo (Flameeyes) has some experience with it http://ur1.ca/11dax

     @rysiek There's also 'randomsound' btw & on VIA hardware you can use VIA Padlock (hardware crypto accel + RNG). http://ur1.ca/152dr
