== Random numbers == | |||
Hi, could you have a look at what I found in my man pages: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:Unix_directory_structure ? I think at least one of random or urandom yields ''real'' random numbers as it uses ''environmental noise''. However, the text in my manpage differs to the text of the article in which generator gives real and wich gives pseudo random numbers.

Still laughing...
You should have seen my face when I saw the edit summary, "pronounced jitters". Before I read it in context, I was picturing a roomful of generals being told that the Army, as well as the Marines, was being made a component of the Navy. :-)
